Editing Retr0bright

{{TODO photo|more=true|reason=need some more example photos (before and after) of a full keyboard case or other large items}}

'''Retr0bright''' (spelled in ''leet'' with zero instead of the letter O) is a recipe of household chemicals to create a solution for bleaching yellowed plastic.
The active ingredients are hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) and TAED. TAED helps hydrogen peroxide work in lower temperatures. It should be activated with ultraviolet light, which is a component of sunlight.

Retr0bright can be a liquid solution or made into a gel.

==Safety==
Hydrogen peroxide is a corrosive chemical and it must not be spilled on the skin or get into the eyes or it could cause serious damage.

==Alternatives==
Most types of bleaching products that contain hydrogen peroxide (or a compound that becomes it in water) and TAED should work, provided that it is concentrated enough.

Some alternatives that have been tried are:
* OxyClean in twice the concentration on the package. (liquid)
* 40 vol creme developer from Sally's Beauty Supply (creamy liquid)
* Clairol 40 vol. Pure White creme developer (highly recommended)
