Help! White plastic windows
mocolo
Posts: 121 Forumite
In a bid to get rid of some mould I have used a solution of bleach and sodium bicarbonate. This has worked fantastically in the shower but unfortunately I got some on some white plastic windows and it has left a horrible brown stain. Is there anything that will deal with this?
I am relying on the experts on here to save my bacon- we ar about to put the house on the market!
all ideas gratefully received,

mocolo have you tried stardrops? Neat on a cloth should shift it, hell it took gloss paint dried on my leather sofas, off with one little swipe
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Lynzpower,
thnaks for this. Stardrops is just one of those things I keep meaning to buy and never get round to. I will definitely get some to try. Here's hoping....

I guess the brown stain is reacted chlorine.
You shouldn't really use bicarb & hypochlorite together.
Best thing I can think of for removing chlorine is Sodium Metabisulphite.
You might be able to get it at a chemist or a lab supplier such as Analytical Supplies - telelphone details here

Skim,
Thanks for your post. What is hypochlorite in? Is it in the bleach that i mixed with the bicarb? Would stardrops be Ok or has that got hypochlorite in? You can tell that I was not a science person at school!

Sodium Medabisulphate is also known as Campden Tablets.....Check the home brew section and I know Wilkinsons sell them0

Most of the old style bleaches are Sodium Hypochlorite - a lot of brands are changing to Hydrogen peroxide which is more environmentally friendly than the chlorine based ones.
I guess you'll struggle to get it off to be honest.0 -
