I recently acquired some white swizzle sticks that are no longer white or stained. Anyway to bring them back to their original color? |

If that doesn't work, try some hydrochloric acid..... |

I soak my vintage swizzles in hot water and Dawn Platinum dish soap. If they are still gunky I wipe them with a sponge and use a toothpick to clean out the crevices. |

Have you tried soaking them in hydrogen peroxide? I've had limited success doing this with white plastic items that have turned yellow. I believe it has to do with the different kinds of plastic. |

I'd bet a Mr. Clean magic eraser would do the trick. I haven't used them on swizzles but I've cleaned up some very discolored plastic with them. A friend bleaches Star Wars toys back to white but I'm not sure what he uses. Good luck. |

For a safer route, try scrubbing with a paste made of baking soda and water, the dunk in white vinegar. It cleans AND fizzes! |
