I have had some (Wait a sec, do I post this here?) pretty sick Lego's appear
before my eyes.
I’ve discovered a way to clean my Lego (I tried the aforementioned “boiling”
methodology as well... My bad).
I put all the dirty pieces in a pillow case - *Tie* it up. Put that pillow
case in Another pillow case, and *Tie* it up (please note how I am
enunciating on "Tie it up" <g>). Again, put that pillow case in ANOTHER
pillow case, and tie *it* up. Then, throw that baby in the washing machine
(Warm water), add a little soap, and presto! I suppose a dishwasher would
also work, but I haven't tried that (Ain't go no dishwasher.).
And there you have it! Clean as new. There is the odd brick (etc.) that will
still have a dried gummy bear <g> or something stuck to it, but what can you
do?
Industriously,
DBR
