Cleaning Plastic

Yellowing may be irreversible. I've been thinking of removing all
electronics from a case, and soaking it in dilute bleach solution
overnight.

I did find a great method for removing permanent marker from textured
plastic. Cameo copper cleaner powder works great and doesn't harm the
texture.

For other stains, I use a Scotch Brite pad of the type that says it's
safe on fiberglass.

I'd sure like to find a good method for cleaning keyboards.
