Remove the wrap and wipe off the peroxide. You should notice the plastic is significantly lighter.

Rinse with water, dry completely, and reinstall the cover plate.

Additional Tips:

For stubborn yellowing, repeat the process once or twice.
Always avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could scratch or damage the plastic.
This method works best on plastic surfaces, not on painted or metal ones.

When to Replace Instead of Clean

If your sockets or switches are cracked, broken, or extremely discolored even after treatment, it might be safer and more effective to replace them entirely. Modern replacements are affordable and come with improved safety features.
