Spring Cleaning? An effective way to clean mold & mildew off aluminum or vinyl siding! After a lot of researching the web for various methods, I simply used one scoop of Oxy-Clean and a cap full of laundry detergent in about 2 gallons of warm water. The soft bristle brush, about 4 ft. long, is the kind used for applying roofing cement, etc.
Just spray rinse, wash with soapy water and rinse again. Works great!
I've used a similar process to restore hazed automotive headlights. 3M sells a kit that is used with a power drill and includes all the required materials.
I've used this kit and was happy with the results. I'm not affiliated with 3M.

Depending upon your mix, the PH may wind up at 7.0, exactly neutral. Vinegar (acetic acid) lowers the PH, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) raises the PH.
Either is GENERALLY harmless to MOST soft plastics, whether alone or in combination. Do you have a specific plastic in mind? If it happens to be polyethylene ("polythene", to those on the opposite side of the Big Blue Wobbly Thing from me), that's nearly perfectly impervious to both vinegar and baking soda.
