Damo deffo look into that thread on the museum but i think its mainly for hard plastics  :-\
I tried bleach on a set of fuan grips and while it cleaned them up a bit it left them with a slightly greasy feeling.

One bizarre thing i have had a bit of success with on random things is a full tube of steradent (or equivelent) denture cleaning tablets  :crazy2:
