Not sure about bleach concentration but, after washing
and rinsing, I would advise reapplying a layer of wax
on the plastic foundation.  You can use melted wax and
a brush, but I've thought of floating a layer of
melted wax on top of very hot water (above the melting
point of wax) and then dipping the frames into the
water.  Drawing the frames out of the water would
deposit a layer of wax on everything that had been
submersed.
