I used to use a diluted solution, but I've moved to 100% bleach without apparent
damage to the bricks.  Even pure bleach doesn't work on some of the badly sun
damaged pieces, though.

dilute solution for a long time; this has whitened parts for me that were 20
or more years old, and doesn't appear to have damaged them in any way.

I recently bought some older classic space sets and I knew in advance that
they had yellowed. I tried soaking them in a bleach and water solution but
it did not help. Does anyone have ideas about stopping the yellowing and
also a fix for it?   Thanks in advance.
