With plastic being pretty porous, I could see it being tough to rinse completely (aside from scratching the plastic). I wouldn't chance it.
I use abouy a half cup per 5 gallons or so. But this is what I am talking about when I say that homebrewers afraid of using bleach is like homebrewers sanitizing the mash tun. Bleach is fine as long as you rinse and let air dry. The problem with bleach is when it actually gets into your beer and then it doesn't take much to ruin it.
