4. Sunlight & Hydrogen Peroxide: The Ultimate Whitening Combo
Sunlight and hydrogen peroxide together work wonders on yellowed plastic. If you’re looking for a natural and effective method to restore your chair’s whiteness, this combination is your answer.
What you’ll need:
- 3% hydrogen peroxide (as before)
- A clean, dry cloth
- A sunny outdoor area
Steps:
- Apply a thin layer of hydrogen peroxide to the plastic chair.
- Place the chair in a sunny location. The combination of the sun’s UV rays and the hydrogen peroxide will work together to bleach the plastic back to white.
- Leave the chair in the sun for about 1-2 hours, depending on how yellowed it is.
- After the time has passed, rinse the chair with water and dry it with a towel.
This method not only whitens but also helps to remove any stubborn buildup from years of use. It’s perfect for those chairs that have been left outdoors and have become a little too discolored.
5. Use Commercial Plastic Whiteners (If Necessary)
If the DIY methods don’t give you the results you desire, you can always opt for a commercial plastic whitener. These products are designed specifically for plastic furniture and can be found at most home improvement or cleaning supply stores. Follow the instructions on the product for best results.
