So I ordered hydrogen peroxide, glycerine, gum and Oxyclean, as well as a
blender as my wife wasn't to keen on me using hers. I followed the
instructions and came up with a sticky goo which was almost impossible to
get off my hands, the bench and everything else it came into contact with.
Turns out I made enough to coat a car, so next time I'll rachet down the
quantities.
I smeared the goo over the washer and radiator overflow bottles and set them
in the sun for 2 days as instructed. Once it dried, washing it off was
fairly simple. It's hard to say, but I think both are less yellow than
previously. The instructions have a "rinse and repeat" suggestions, so I'm
going to give it a second shot when I get some more supplies.
I realize I cannot attach pictures to these emails, but if anyone wants
before and afters, I'll be glad to send them along after the second
application. Then you can decide if it's worth it.

Thanks to all who replied. I had tried vinegar and bleach, as well as those
effervescent tablets used to clean dentures (they work a charm for glass
decanter bottles) - all to no avail. Randall had suggested Retr0bright and
sent a link - I'll give it a try and get back to y'all.

There was a suggestion in the past to fill the bottle in a container, for
inside snd outside of the bottle, with a light mixture of vinegarand let it
sit for a few days.

Do any of you brainiacs have any suggestions on how to clean up a very
yellow-looking washer bottle for my TR250 - that is, if it is even possible?
Not a big deal, but if there were a way to do it, I'd be interested.
Thanks!
