Default wiper bottle restoration how?

I am trying to restore a original windshield wiper fluid bottle- the cheap white plastic one- part 3961557 It has faded to the
usual brown dirty white color- no damage just looks old.
Yeah I know $15 buys a repro but I want to use my original one.
Is there any way to bleach it back to original white or what to make it look new-
THANKS,
Bob

Well then - you need to state the year car you're working on - they weren't all white on C1s originally. Some were more cream colored....maybe yours is fine...

I have tried many cleaning products, including bleach, with no success in getting the white color back.
Buy a repro and leave it empty because we hardly ever use the windshield washer anyway.
