Braces rubber bands turn yellow with oxidation and other chemical effects of exposure in your mouth. You can brush them a bit when they turn RED from spaghetti sauce, etc., but for the most part the only way to *clean* them is to replace them with a new, clear/pearl rubber band.

Welcome to the braces world! ;)

Put them in baking soda and water. That might help.
