Default Re: Discolouring of a GPO 746 phone?

The bulk of the outer surfaces are an "ivory" colour but the area underneath the handset and the face of the handset that is downwards when "on the hook" is white. I suspect that the phone was used in a environment where there were heavy smokers and was originally white all over, although there is no smell of smoke. Another thought, is discolouration by strong sunlight a possible cause?

Is there a surface cleaner that members could recommend or is this discolouration not removable without damaging the surface?

Thanks

Roger
I could be wrong but I have never seen a white 700 series only in cream / ivory
