Saw this on Classic Castle, so I thought I'd share it here:

That is very promising, though I have two questions regarding it.

1. Will it work on non-white pieces without changing their original colors? Blue and grey can turn colors just as bad as white, from my experience. It would be nice to throw all of them into a tub without regard to color and have it work.

2. They don't mention what strength hydrogen peroxide they used. 3% is what you can get in a brown bottle at the drugstore, 30% is standard laboratory strength, and 90% puts rockets into orbit. I certainly hope its 3%, but their claim of it getting expensive for large parts likely suggests a higher concentration.

[Grrr]

I am intending to try it soon. The website does state 10-15% concentrated OH2. Shouldn't be too bad to get. It sure should beat buying rare old parts of bricklink - though I'll start with a lot of standard plates.

Will let you know how I get on.

I imagine it will work - I have had reversal of yellowing towards original colours with all lego colours with UV light only, but it is very slow - hopefully it will speed the process up.
