whitening grips

Anybody got any good tips on whitening up a pair of old grips?  They are white/blue unitrons so cant stick them in bleach cause of the blue underneath  :)

They were grubby but i've scrubbed them up pretty good.  They are just not whitey white .. not looking for miracles but hopefully the dishwasher will bring them out some more  :daumenhoch:
