Elliot B. Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've had an Xbox 360 controller in the garage for a few years and the top half has yellowed. Any ideas how to clean it?

Draconian Guppy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 hmm "suffering" from this too, It just came to me, take it part and submerge the plastic upper part in bleach, else i've no other idea, as yellowing occurs in anything that type of plastic (sneakers, pvc pipes, etc) Victor Rambo 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1305324-how-to-clean-yellowing-on-xbox-360-controller/#findComment-597535458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTIONpack Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Would it be easier to buy a new 360 controller. They are super cheap now Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1305324-how-to-clean-yellowing-on-xbox-360-controller/#findComment-597548288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas how to clean it? hm, i thought they no longer use that kind material on more modern console? clearly i thought wrong. anyway the answer pretty much the same as mentioned above.

papercut2008uk Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 just get a 'magic eraser' on ebay or pretty much anywhere. their pretty cheap and should work. make sure you test it on somewhere that you wont be holding, just encase it damages the plastic (which it shouldn't), just cut a small piece off, dip a tiny edge in water and rub it on there, should get rid of the yellowing. don't get the whole thing wet as it will all dissolve. probably the easiest and cleanest method to go for to clean it.

MtnDewCodeRedFreak Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I agree about the H2O2 or bleach. Bleach is NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) and the chlorine would help in whitening.
