That’s it. You could mention “Don’t worry about the smell, it will pass – how else would you have been able to remove the stain?”, but that’s risky – she might snap "If you know how to do it, why haven’t you cleaned it yourself?!?
I think what she is looking for here is “ Gee thanks hon for getting that stain out of that cheap garage sale shirt you got so here’s a $100 bucks for you to go out and blow on new shoes” yeah thats it for sure.
Just say “Thanks Hon.” with maybe a smile? Not too much to ask. It was an accomplishment after all. He would want a thanks hon when he fixed something right? Showing any kind of gratitude doesn’t cost a dime.
Just guessing here that she’s expecting a profuse apology for putting the stain there in the first place and making her do all that work. But what do I know, I’m just a dumb male. BTW, if I stain a shirt, and I often do [I have one soaking in bleach now], I clean it myself. It’s a thankless job. I’m just happy if the shirt survives.
I like the bleach smell. My dearly departed friend always bleached his white tee shirts and if he was wearing one, I would lean on his shoulder and just sniff at his shirt.

I, also a male, am confused. Does she want an apology for him getting the stain ON the shirt?

Can i have a hint?
Gladly.
- Look up from the newspaper
- Give her a broad, sincere smile
- Say “Thank you! Well done!”

I have to assume that the shirt isn’t ruined if she was able to get the stain out.

He ruined the shirt with a stain, then she got the stain out, so how was it ruined?

If you do the laundry, it is your job, using bleach is not rocket science. T ake the thank you and shut up
