Bleach and Fibreglass do not mix.......
You can do this test yourself if you have any doubts.
The CSIRO test all waterproofing membranes for suitability to be listed in the Australian Standards.
I was amazed to find one of the simple tests they carry out prior to spending heaps on a full test.
Take two jam jars, place a sample of the membrane in each, fill one with 50/50 mix of bleach and water; fill the other with a 50/50 mix of Domestos and water.
Stand on a window sill for 14 days.
Fibreglass comes out very soft, even floppy.
The moral of the story is that bleach will clean fibreglass, but, you need to sure it's not draining into cracks or holes that can not be rinsed clean.......
Looking forward to some interesting resposes on this one.
