Default GUNK degreaser on timing belt...

Help. I was changing an acc. idler pulley (mine was crocket and vibrated together with the radiator fan), and opened the timing belt cover. Saw some dirt and grease in the belt compartment, and without thinking, sprayed some gunk degreaser there. Belt got soaked, of course! (I know, stupid!) I rinsed it with water afterward. Do I need to change the timing belt now? I mean, how bad could it be for the belt? The car only has 35k miles on it, so, I'm only half way to tb service. Thanks for your input!

Better to avoid contact on rubber, but nothing to loose sleep over.
