Bleaching lines is not the say to go as it breaks down the line filaments.

If you're worried about it a laundry detergent for delicate clothes or mild dish soap in warm water is what I would use.

Just chuck your kite in the washing machine it works fine, use cold powder so the temperature doesnt wreck the bladders etc. and make sure you seal them all. Put em in for a 30 minute wash and spin cycle, works a treat. For heavy stains use Napisan.

little monkey, i hope you are having a joke. this could not be good for the lines or the kite. kite would go soft and lines would be in a birds nest.
