Plastic products have become an integral part of our everyday life.

However, over time they may turn yellow due to exposure to sunlight or other environmental factors.

If you are faced with the same problem, then know that there are several ways that will help restore your plastic products to their original appearance and beauty.

Soda and hydrogen peroxide

Mix these two components in equal proportions until a thick paste is formed.

If the yellowing is long-standing, the procedure can be repeated if desired.

Laundry soap

Regular laundry soap will help remove yellow stains from plastic.

Take a soft sponge, lather it well and slowly rub the stains and dirty spots on the plastic. Let the soap solution work for a few minutes, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Cleaning with alcohol

The liquid will help to cope with old yellow stains of various origins. However, there is a nuance. Before treating plastic with alcohol, it is better to test its effect on an inconspicuous place to avoid the appearance of new stains.
