Whitening ivory keys

It was several years ago that I used it on ivory. My recollection is that it 
is a two-part liquid that you cut with water. Other than that I simply 
followed methods used with hydrogen peroxide - mist keytops repeatedly and 
let sit out in sun. Several applications and several hours in the Florida 
sun got the ivories very white.

I don't know if there is any down side to using wood bleach. Seemed to work 
great for me. Available at most any home-improvement store.
