How to clean THESE stains...

Thank you all for the great suggestions and advice. I'll try and respond to all replies.

The items I tried, I had laying around. I didn't need to go out and buy them.

For a few bucks and an easy replacement I would gladly take this route. Unfortunately 2 of the 3 items are not the simple "stretch the collar around the outlet" type. They both require disassembly of the outlet to get them on. Too much effort for me. I don't need them cleaned THAT bad (my wife does though :-) ).

I would not use any abrasive on the actual fiberglass body of the trailer. I know better.

I'll try the Mr. Clean eraser and acetone and see if they work. otherwise. Sorry Wifey....

BTW, I have had good luck cleaned the yellowing off of my fridge cover with a clean, lintless cloth and brake parts cleaner. It takes the very top layer (yellowed) of plastic off. You have to do a small section at a time, and use a clean section of clothe each tiem, but it works well.

Thanks again for all the tips. I'll report back if either Mr. clean or acetone works.

I would caution using the Magic Eraser on the body of your RV. Because there is some sort of abrasive, it can create a dull finish over time. If nothing else, wax afterward. As for the acetone on the rubber trim, I would be careful too. We clean our RV but we don't over clean it. Being completely finicky about whiteness can result in a deterioration of the materials, then you're replacing rather than cleaning.

The only thing that I have found to clean mold off of rubber or yellow off of plastic is acetone. It is a strong solvent and will remove material if you leave it on too long. After trying bleach, awesome, and even sand paper to remove the mold on the rubber trim strips with limited success and a lot of work acetone worked with just rag and a little rubbing. The black mold came off of the 30 ft of trim strips on both sides of the MH easily.

Awesom & Mr. Clean Magic Eraser together will remove every stain I have had even the black streaks. :)

X2, if you don't elect to just replace them.

We're going to have to replace our stove vent cover due to yellowing. I've scrubbed it with the Magic Eraser but it's not coming as clean initially as it did.

They don't cost much so either replace them or paint them with Krylon's "Fusion" spray paint.

you have spent more money on cleaners trying to clean it than buying a new replacement.

Replace it with a brand new gleaming one for $1.60.
