I have some plastic plants that are still in good shape, but have some crud on them that won't easily come off, even after soaking in warm water. I've heard of people using a mild bleach solution to clean them up. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
 
When I use to use plastic plants I would soak them in my kitchen sink. I would fell the sink up with water then add a dash of bleach. You may have to add more bleach if they don't look like they are coming clean. Soak them for about 15 minutes or so. After soaking, then rinse very well in hot water.
 
Bleach and hot water worked for me too. Just be sure to rinse them really well in water with a double dose of dechlor.
