Definitely need to try this on my yellowed buggy.

Also I really wouldn't mind getting my nursery nice and white again.

I also got these heavily discoloured Pretty Parlour parts here - maybe worth a try as well? The stickers will probably not survive it though. This is not from my childhood days by the way, it was in a bait lot I got on ebay.

I never had any luck with the blue parts of the Pretty Parlor (I put on the peroxide gel from Sally Beauty Supply w/ a brush). I had some success with the white parts, but they turned yellow again :(
Looking for CF Minty, excellent condition! (and maybe Snuzzle and Blue Belle)

Here is the link to a blog website I stumbled across earlier.  I have not tried this method myself, but plan to in the summer on the show stable.  Scroll just shy of halfway down, something about Tom's amazing machine transformation

Thanks for the links and the further information! I've read through all of them. Seems like my parlour has no chance then :D But that OOAK custom parlour has given me some ideas...!

Wow this thread has opened my eyes!  I had this super-baity Kitchen playset a while ago and I tried sunfading it with no success.  I thought the only way to restore it would be to paint it.  I bought white spray paint, and it was a total disaster.  The paint came out in big globs (it was oil based, the guy at Bunnings said that one would work on plastic), and I tried to remove the globs with metho and it ended up totally ruined.  Does this really, seriously work??  I never even thought to ask on here, because I'd seen customised playsets and assumed spraypainting would be perfect.

I've only used it on white playsets: the Buggy and Stable, but it's worked really well on both of those, so I'd guess it would work on the kitchen too.  Other people have reported success on colored playsets, but I can't vouch for them personally.
