Brake fluid???

Two questions:
1. What the heck is in this stuff that one drop turns black plastic white?
2. Can I use it on my shorts instead of bleach?

Brake fluid ruining plastic bits and painted surfaces is nothing new. It's main ingredient is glycol ether (DOT 3/4)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid
DOT 5 is silicone based. Not sure if that has the same corrosive properties on plastic and paint.
Question 2: No.
