Do a forum search for Oxalic Acid, and you'll get all the information you need. Commonly known as wood bleach, it comes in crystalline form and is easily available at most hardware stores.
A little pinch dissolved in a hot water solution works wonders if you let it sit overnight. I use it all the time with small chrome bits (dérailleurs, cable stops, etc) with fantastic results.
