Hi,
I'm assuming this is a fairly common problem across the world - My old white
bricks that have been in direct sunlight have turned a disgusting yellow.
I've tried bleaching them, but it has no effect. Any clues on turning them
white again?
Spray paint is a last option :o\

Jon Hedge,

Ps. Please alert me if this NG has a FAQ that I should follow in the future
:)

I'll like to know about it too....many of mine are like dirty white and
I think some are showing sign of a little yellowing too.

Bleaching has worked for some people, as has putting them in a washing
machine (in a net bag)
