Q&A for How to Remove Yellowing from White Appliances

A simple way to clean the yellowed surface is with an all-purpose cleaner that contains bleach. You can also wipe the area with a magic eraser, or for a more intensive cleaning, use a mixture of baking soda (1/4 cup), warm water (4 cups), and bleach (1/2 cup). When using bleach, make sure to wear gloves. Wipe down the surface with the solution, then wipe the area clean with a fresh rag or cloth. Repeat this as needed.

For plastic, you can try to use cream peroxide which is more powerful than hydrogen peroxide. Apply the cream peroxide to the plastic with a paintbrush or toothbrush, using gloves to protect your skin. Then, put the plastic in a sealed bag and place it in direct sunlight outdoors, rotating it for even sun exposure. Leave it out for up to 4 hours, then rinse and wipe it down thoroughly with a clean rag and water and let it fully dry.

You can start off by scrubbing the silicone with a brush dipped in soapy water, then dry it with a towel. Follow this by using bleach—spray the silicone with bleach and let it sit for 20 minutes. Wearing rubber gloves, scrub the silicone again with a brush, then rinse the area and dry with a clean rag or towel.

There are many factors that contribute to turning plastic yellow. Common factors are exposure to UV light from the sun, humidity, and extreme temperatures.
