White phone re-yellowing over time

I treated a badly yellowed white Princess phone (1980) with recommended 40% hair bleach. It worked nicely but I noticed after about a year that the yellow is coming back. The phone is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Has anyone else notice this?

Thanks

What sort of light is in the area, flourescent lights? This will be interesting to see if bleached phones re-yellow quickly. I wonder if the old computer collectors who started doing this initially have had this problem as well.

No. It is in a room with regular incandescent lights. There is some ambient outside light but nothing direct.

I hope this isn't the case with the peroxide treatment.  So far my aqua princess is still aqua  However, I do keep my phones away from any sunlight and I wiped it down with aeropspace 303 UV protectant.
