I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to clean large amounts of lego
bricks.

I have a middling-large collection that has been set up for some time in my
basement, and the cheap paint on the walls has started flaking off onto the
assembled lego sets, as well as the usual accumulations of dust etc.

In the past, I have washed them in a tub with dish soap and a toothbrush, which
seems to work pretty good, but my collection has grown since then, and I was
wondering if there was a better way; or at least, a faster way.

Thanks for the help!
