open the umbrella in the tub,Mix 1/4th cup of bleach and 3cups of water,and a little dawn. with a soft cloth use this mixture to clean the plastic. When you are finished turn on the shower and rinse. Turn and Umbrella over and do the same on the inside. Turn back upright to dry

the yellowing of the plastic is mostly due to ultraviolet sun light. its a sign of deterioration. i take it that the umbrella might be from the 60's or 70's which means that they were not of high end quality. the more it gets used outside the faster it will deteriorate. cleaning might get the surface discolouration but the "fading" is inside the plastic also

you put it in the bin and buy another one, if it is starting to rust then it's going to rust all the time. Just nip into superdrug or tesco, £2.00 = new umbrella

Nothing...you can not make yellowed plastic (it is because of aging, not dirt) look new again....sorry.
