I regularly use just dish detergent, hot water and a tooth brush or larger utility brush to remove dirt, grease pencil, grime, tobacco tar and other contaminants from the cases of any used computer equipment I inherit. It works great. Be sure to dry the plastic parts throughly before reattaching them to the computer.
This method is great for cleaning keyboard covers and key caps (they pop off).
If the plstic is actually yellowed, dish soap won't reverse the coloring. Also, the plastic Apple uses in manufacturing its parts gets more brittle with age.
If your oven has a pilot light, simply placing the clean but wet covers inside the oven, closing the door, and leaving them in an unlit oven for a couple of hours will do a good job at drying them.
Oh, BTW, do remove the plastic covers, key caps, whatever from the computer equipment before washing them. :-)
