   used it to clean up all kinds of yellow plastics in not so great fall

   over-thinking the UV part. If you have to do it indoors, just put down a
   plastic sheet inside a window in your house that gets some sun and leave
   them there for a while.

UV doesn't go through glass, at any rate, not very much, and then only at 
the low energy end of the range.
