Question: I've found a good-condition earphones in an old bag, and I've managed to clean the earphone cords with a rag and alcohol, I've also found **[this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVeH2rhocSY)** which suggests to clean them with **Window Cleaner Liquid** which also helped me remove the last dirty of the places that alcohol couldn't remove it.

But on the plugin area, I can't seem to remove the "yellow" color. How can I clean this yellow area?

Answer: 
Well, in my case, I just used wet wipes and rubbed it around the cord of my earphones. 

And I tell you, it works just like magic! Although, it hadn't turned my earphones back into its original white color but still, the dirt clinging around the cord had definitely been removed.
use white toothpaste :) it works on my white earphone turned yellowish
