'yellowing' remover
« on: Mon, 19 January 2009, 10:24:37 »
I'm pretty sure somewhere on the web there was a very simple but powerful formula (only 3 ingredients I think) made with everyday-use materials that removes the yellowing on cream hardware. I just can't find the link. Any ideas?

Thanks

this stuff is dangerous, use protective wear (gogles and gloves) before using it

This, too, looks like a good solution.  It appears to be a little less manual than the toothpaste method.

Man, these threads are popping up all over the place here.

I haven't had a need to clean up yellowed parts, yet, but I'm hopefully going to get some old keyboards from my gf's parents' house and my parents' house soon.  If so, they may be yellowed.  I'd rather not mess with this process, obviously, but if I do, I'll post results.
