What should i do?

[Dragonet]

I was cleaning the back of my 29 gallon saltwater tank with some paper towel and glass cleaner, i put four squirts on the paper towel and wiped the back down then folded it to wipe it off but when my hand was over the tank it fell in. I imediatly took it out and put 5 ml of chlorine remover in, with this and a sea clone protien skimmer should they be alright?

Well glass cleaner has ammonia in, along with other harsh chemicals. it so the chlorine remover wouldn't neutralize that. You should never clean your glass with anything except a clean rag dampened with water(DI) and then buff it with a clean dry rag. I use terry cloth rags like the ones you get at the auto supply store, and they are dedicated to the aquarium.

I would do a water change, like 25%.

I would but i just cleaned the tank and took 25% out would 50% new water not bee to much to cycle?

no....provided all the parameters match temp, sg, alk, & ph

Would the protien skimmer help by removing some of the chemicals?

As far as i know protien skimmers don't remove chemicals, they remove organic solids. Charcol maybe a good idea, since it's used for removing chemicals, but i would think a water change, matching parameters whould be good also.

the ammonia in the cleaner will be the same as ammonia created during a cycle. It will in turn be consumed with the result being nitrite. A large water change immediately will help, ammonia is extremely toxic to fish and should never be used in and around your tank. This goes for any chemicals that are airborne such as room sprays etc.

do another water change and next time just use a dry paper towel
