Once again, you can paint it white as I did all the knobs on my 1955 Oval 
window and
my 1964 Type 34 Karmann Ghia. That certainly takes the yellow out. The knobs 
turn out beautiful, and that's the way Koch (of California) restores steering 
wheels.

 You can just clean it with soap and water, but that won't take the 
 yellow out. I'm pretty sure the bleach won't help and is rather 
 likely to hurt, if anything.
