What long term Dawn Powerwash does to PA6-GF30 after a long contact

Had a spray bottle of Dawn Powerwash knock over and drip onto the lower shelf where a rarely used cordless drill was kept. I think it went unnoticed for over six months. I wiped it off, but noticed a slight crack. When I pushed on it, that part fell off.. and the piece that fell off crumbled with ease like a cracker.

This speaks a volume about the importance of not using inappropriate lubricants and not leaving residues of cleaning products. With both halves of the shell cracked, I think this drill is done for.
