Does anyone happen to know what color the plates are in the Belville # 5943 Designer Interior set are? From the catalog I can't tell whether they are turquoise, light blue or other?

No, because dishwashers heat the water to way past 40 degrees C. Which will inevitably melt your LEGO bricks and probably stuff up your dishwasher. Washing machines that have a cold water cycle and a pillowcase half-full of LEGO are probably your (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.build)
