 | | How do -you- clean your LEGO parts? —Jordan Bradford
|
| | | I don't think LUGNET has had any discussions about this in quite some time. How do -you- clean your LEGO parts? I'm interested in learning people's techniques, particularly ones that clean a lot of parts at once with little effort. LEGO that's been (...)

| | | | | (...) Tooth brush is what I use to be very careful, and an old electric tooth brush. For large amounts I use the dish washer on delicate, cold water, bricks in a girly stuff bag, no drying. I take them out and put them under a fan after laying them (...) (16 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | | (...) I use washing machine. I pre-sort the parts, plates longer than 8 go out, anything printed/glass/sticke...d/electric goes out, and also the things from softer plastic should go (trees, clips etc.). Then I put it in cloth bag (old pillow), (...) (16 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | | (...) I run them in the dishwasher, on the top rack in mesh bags. I even use the heat. It's never been a problem. To dry the bricks, I put them in the food dehydrator. It's one of those stackable models with a big pile of trays. I distribute the (...) (16 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| | | | | (...) I would think that an ultrasonic cleaner as used in the jewelery business would work very well for cleaning LEGO parts-especially small ones. I have been thinking of buying one for my mineral specimens. They have come down in price over the (...) (16 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | | (...) I've always washed my parts in soapy water. I will usually put the parts in a bucket of soapy water at least overnight (sometimes several days). I separate out the chrome and stickered parts. I usually do some sorting, with the tiny parts and (...) (16 years ago, 25-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.general)

| | | | | Actually you have you clean your pieces for one time. Mostly I used a nail brush. Off course time consuming but very effective. Just with hand warm water and soap is not necessary. I only wash my pieces when I just bought a party of used pieces. You (...) (16 years ago, 25-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts)

| | | | (...) I use a simple paint brush to clean off display dust. I've found that the kind with fairly soft bristles work pretty well. The brush I use most often is about 2½" wide. (...) Like others have said, soapy water works well. I have a large bowl (...) (16 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts)
