One method I have heard of but have not yet attempted myself, is to
put the pieces into a mesh bag (make sure the holes are too small for
the tiny pieces like 1x1's, antennas, etc. to fit through!) and put it
in the TOP RACK of a dishwasher with normal dishwashing detergent.
But as I said, I've never tried this so don't sue me if your
baseplates come out warped.
