I have a phone cover where the plastic bits at the edges which were originally clear plastic, have now turned quite yellow. It looks terrible, and wonder if anyone has tips on how to clean it. So far I've tried washing up liquid, bleach, Barkeepers Friend and washing powder, all to no avail.

The top part has allegedly a memory foam top but not the bottom so you can only turn the mattress 180 degrees to even out the wear. I am wondering if I bought a 5cm mattress topper whether it might…

Fixing pair of glasses?
Got a new pair of glasses 6 months ago and noticed about 2 weeks ago they seemed a little loose at frame, took them into opticians who said yes they were, and it was because I remove them from face with one hand and its meant to be two hands and forward.
