Yellowing will return over the time the same way as from new. To stop this process again, after hydrogen peroxide process you scotchbrite plastic 500 or 800 grit gently, degrease with isopropyl alcohol and spray clear coat lacquer tiny coat

[@CallousCoder]

I think the yellowing its triggered by UV so a clear coat that has a UV blocker is probably the only thing that will work.

Here Germany. Thanks for showing us this trick. Someone told me about this a few years ago, but said that the plastic yellows far faster after this treatment.

[@philgray1023]

I wonder if a protectant can be applied?

[@Irish_Thørn_Tree28]

​@@philgray1023Any clear coat would do it. That's literally what's being stripped off. It's the protective coat that has yellowed, not the actual plastic!

[@Retro-Iron11]

@@Irish_Thørn_Tree28 Ok, the plastics are made with uv stabilsers mixed in, those get used up and thus the plastic yellows. You only get it on the surface as that is the area exposed, there is no magic coating on most plastics aside from things like automotive headlights which you should never treat until they have gone badly yellowed as you're just speeding the process up by removing that coating. You can then add your own coating of a uv stablised clear coat paint. Not just any paint, it must have uv stablised specified on it.

The volume indicates the concentration of peroxide in the solution. 3% = 10 volume 6% = 20 volume 12% = 40 volume 30% = 100 volume 35% = 130 volume So this is 30%, because VOLUME is rear used, more used is %

[@Repairman10169]

Thanks for the info 👌

[@iOmediaCoZa]

Thank you for clarifying. 👍

[@alejomdp]

If someone didn´t understand, I clarify one thing: if you want to use percentages by mixing water and hidrogen peroxide you should be able to buy pure hidrogen peroxide, which I doubt it to be easily available as it is extremely dangerous. A very different thing is if you can buy the peroxide with a percentage in the label. In my country it´s sold using volumes in the label, not percentages.

I'm going to try wrapping with paper towels and keeping the wet, it should work.

[@coriscotupi]

@@FreeTea4Me Paper towels will probably keep them from getting full exposure from sunlight, which is an essential part of the whitening process.

[@budman-tw6rr]

Are the paper towels still soaking?

[@t0rxe]

You can get hydrogen peroxide in a cream base which you can apply with a brush to your handles on the washing machine. You will then need to setup a UV LED light and rotate it around the handle and re-brush the peroxide cream around the handle every hour for approximately 4 to 8 hours (depending on the strength of the UV light). Be sure you wear proper UV rated sun glasses when entering the room and a long sleeved shirt otherwise you can severely damage your eyes (UV light ages all structures of the eye including higher risks of corneal damage, cataracts and macular degeneration) and skin (sunburn).

[@coriscotupi]

@@t0rxe Or better yet, momentarily turn off the UV light at each re-brushing.
