Yellowing trick top seat

Does anyone know if yellowing on the white padding on a trick top type seat can be removed/cleaned?  :-\

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
put up a pic - some cleaners can but you need to check first - so lets see what we are looking at first

I know its petty cheap but if i cant get it clean its useless to me  :(

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
 ??? :shocked: sun fading  >:(

it's hard - i had a Kashi seat like that for Adam to do - bleach didn't work at all - in the end had to dye it

it seems to go through the material and turn it yellow - shop window stock

if it was all one colour you could dye it but as it's two then your only choice is orange on orange  :-[

hope this helps make your mind up - if you want a good one then i would pass on this one

cheers B  ;)

Cheers Bendy that confirms what i thought.  :daumenhoch:
I had already passed on it once but when it got relisted it was rubbing my nose in it.  ;D

I have read a few guys over on the museum have had good results leaving stuff out in direct sunlight for a few weeks but i think i would be collecting my pension before i saw any change here in sunny Manchester  ;)
