How to Remove Yellowing From Plastic Toys

When plastic is exposed to light or oils for an extended period of time, a chemical reaction occurs that causes it to turn yellow. Not to worry --- most yellowed-toys can be restored to their original color using bleach and a few items you likely have lying around your house.

  • Bleach
  • Water
  • Dish detergent

Instructions

    • 1

      Submerge the yellowed item in a bucket filled with equal parts of water and bleach.

    • 2

      Wait an hour or longer until the bleach has removed the yellow color. You don't need to do anything else here; just let the toy soak.

    • 3

      Remove the toy from the bucket.

    • 4

      Wash the bleach from the toy using dish detergent.

    • 5

      Dry the toy with a dish towel.

    • 6

      Gently rub superfine sandpaper along any areas that remain yellow.

    • 7

      Wipe the toy with a soft cloth to remove any dust from the sanding.
