Tetrachloroethylene risks

Hey everyone, I know this is a ridiculous question, but it's causing me a lot of stress and I'm hoping someone here can help with advice.

About a week ago my daughter was doing an art project on our back patio, near the door to the house. She was using E6000 glue that contains TCE. She had used maybe half of a 3oz tube and left the glue and project on the back patio to dry. The next day the door to the patio was left open for a couple of hours and the fumes from the glue were blown into the house.

Since this happened, we have wiped down all of the surfaces we can within 20' or so of the door and been running air purifiers with an activated carbon layer 24/7, but there is some concern that these fumes have somehow absorbed into the soft surfaces (rugs, blankets, clothing), and will continue to spread contamination around the house unless they are disposed of.

My questions are really, is there any risk of meaningful contamination in our home, and if so are there any health concerns that we need to be aware of?
