Bone keytops

Wouldn't it be the same as for ivory - hydrogen peroxide, as covered

Ron & Brian,

I have a bone keyboard here at the university. Everyone
loved it. BUT, it's gotten so yellow that most people
don't anymore.

I understand that Kluge has stopped making them because
of this problem.

Does anyone have a "cure" for the yellowed keys? Just
wondering.
