Hello! This is my first post here so I'm kind of nervous haha. I have a question about cleaning pins-- I just received a 101 Dalmatians pin in the mail and it's a fairly older one, released in 1999. The pin is nearly all white and unfortunately a lot of it is yellowed! Does anyone have any tips on how to clean it? I tried using window cleaner but I didn't notice a difference really and most of it is still stained. I'll attach a picture of it below.
Thanks for the help!

The yellowing is usually in the enamel or the epoxy fill used to make the pin so unfortunately I don't think there is a way to clean them :/
It's a part of the ageing process with older pins made this way.
 
I thought that might be the case, but I just wanted to try just in case haha. Thanks for the info! I still love the pin so I'm not too bummed :)
