White - what will happen to the profile

It is not worth it to wash the Whiteness plastic even in diluted form. Of course, there are chlorine-resistant types of plastic, but experimenting on expensive windows is a bad idea. Indeed, whiteness is nothing but sodium hypochlorite, and such a compound is a strong oxidizing agent that can disrupt the integrity of many surfaces.

Simply put, it will literally corrode the plastic or its upper layers, which will lead to clouding and / or the formation of micropores. Externally, this is not always noticeable, but over time, such surfaces will attract more and more dust and dirt, which will clog into the resulting microcracks. As a result - a deterioration in appearance and a significant reduction in the service life, and it will be impossible to clean such plastic.
