It's also surprising how well they come up just after a decent scrub clean in the sink

Nice!
I'm planning to use liquid peroxide in a tub with a UV light for a day or 2.
How easy is it too take the keys off?
Key removal is easy and you dont NEED a tool but easier with
Retrobrite with cream is OK but VERY easy to muck up as it dries out or isnt well even coated. Also sun for activation DOES work but since Sun is what caused the problem is it best to fix it? Heat works equally well to provide energy input.
My recommended SAFER approach is get some 40 vol (12%) peroxide solution, dilute it down to 1/4 or 1/3, use a heater element and thermometer and soak it UNDER the solution so even coverage at 55C ( hotter COULD damage plastic, space bar is the first to warp!!)
Or you can wing it and use cream but... well I seen a friend killed an Atari STE with cream before!
