Title: whitening yellowing pads
Post by: markyp on July 20, 2013, 12:46 PM
I have an original set of profile pads in white,the only problem is that due to the ravages of time they have yellowed,im guessing that leaving them in the sun to bleach will only yellow them further??whats the best way to return them as white as possible without killing them?would a mild bleach formula in warm water do it??any input appreciated chaps :daumenhoch:

I've tried this and yes if you put them in bleach for a couple of hours max it should work. Gently give them a scrub every now and again. Your probably aware leaving them in for long periods e.g overnight will probably turn them more yellow.  :)

Something else I've tried is putting them in the diswasher, this can work, but may not take all the yellowing out.  :-\
