So all white plastic bathrooms go yellow. Or more likely a mix of near virgin white and lots of yellow.
Has anyone had a serious attempt at restoring back to white ? I understand the aging effect is caused by sunlight/UV but also oils etc. I've read and seen plenty that demonstrates that the way to restored yellowed plastic is to use hydrogen peroxide (typically in a cream/sludge form but can be liquid the item is put in a tank of the stuff), and expose to sunlight (ironically) for a quite a few hours.
Maybe fine with removable parts, not so practical for wet room bathrooms.
I'm wondering whether anyone has had a go / has any solutions. One though that has occurred to me, should I decide I am mad enough to try, is to buy UV lamp/light, coat the said plastic areas and leave. I should add that I can see a number of issues with doing this even if in theory it might work.
Partly prompted by the fact that I currently have the bathroom sink out of the van waiting for a new tap to arrive.
