Using hydrogen peroxide.
Apply a generous amount of hydrogen peroxide (40 volumes) to the yellowed plastic area with a brush or cloth. Make sure to spread the product evenly across the entire surface.
3. Applying Foil to the Top
After applying the peroxide, cover the area with foil. This helps the peroxide stay in contact with the plastic and prevents it from evaporating too quickly.
4.
Expose your device to sunlight if possible. Sunlight makes the hydrogen peroxide work better, whitening your teeth faster. Leave the device in the sun for about an hour.
Remove the foil and clean.
After an hour, remove the foil and wipe away excess peroxide with a damp cloth. Repeat as necessary until you achieve the desired result.
More Tips

Mix baking soda and vinegar to make a paste. Apply the paste to the yellowed area and rub it in. Wait 15-20 minutes before washing it off.
10-volume hydrogen peroxide isn’t as strong as 40-volume hydrogen peroxide, but it can still be used similarly when exposed to sunlight.
