I've heard about people putting bricks in a solution of bleach for over a
week to get rid of the "yellowing" of the white bricks.
If anyone has details on this process, I'd like to hear them.
I don't know about the problems with them not fitting properly.

I combined one part bleech to 3 parts water or less in a container and add
the yellowing LEOGS.
I did this for my white brick and it seems to help, I started the process
about 1 week ago. A few bricks that were severly discolored are still a
little bit discolored.
This was discused a while back.
