Anyone knows how to clean white headset?

I've had this headset for almost 2 years now and it's turning to dirty white. Anyone knows how to clean this? Alcohol doesn't work.

Probably a reaction of the plastic to UV/heat.

You could look into retrobrite, but you would have to disassemble the headset for that (as you want to affected parts on their own).

 

I'm pretty sure this happens because of the bromine in the plastic, which I believe is there to act as something to against fire and such.

 

Or it could also be dirt and such that is caught in the pattern of the plastic. This is less likely though, as that wouldn't be this uniform of a yellowing color.

i can't see anything wrong with the white plastic - look at the metal mesh though

not tryna be rude but its pretty clear off white. he did say "how do i clean a white headset" so I assumed he meant what looks like it was once white, not the black metal mesh

Ay yo guys chill. and btw some more info. It probably changed color because I rarely use it and it's just hanging beside my PC for 2 years. I don't know how to clean it efficiently. Alcohol somehow works but I need to rub it for like 15 mins straight to clean a certain spot.
