Can't say about white, but I have yellow and Celeste bar tape, which gets mighty grubby like white. Mr Clean Magic Erasers work great...just wet them and wipe the bar wrap gently a few times. Dry w/ a towel. Works great.

Robin- My new bike has black bar tape. I was completely annoyed when I was looking at the Specialized Ruby that it has white bar tape. I like my black gel tape Cannondale uses.
I tried the Magic Eraser method on the tape. First I should say we are talking about 1.5 years of grease and dirt. The magic eraser brought them to a much nicer looking greyish white. Fiona looks ready for a new home now.
