After the cleaners sprayed the aircraft; we were rushed to get on the plane and board. The smell of the spray was so strong; we could immediately taste and feel irritation in our throat; eyes; and taste it. Even during the demonstration my eyes were very irritated. It wasn't until after takeoff and the air was circulating that we felt a tiny bit of relief.
Flight Attendant reported after the aircraft had been sanitized a strong odor remained for a lengthy period of time resulting in throat and eye irritation.
