    There is a treatment for that that involves like baking soda and aluminum foil and UV light. I think it’s called retrobrite. Might be worth looking into but at the same time if you’re going to do that you might have other repairs you would need to make on the machine.

      imo it’s not really worth it unless you really need to make it look new… the chemicals are toxic and plastic will get weaker as well.

        Apparently it’s hydrogen peroxide and not baking soda but I am not aware of hydrogen peroxide being especially toxic.
