<P><I>From Tom McDonald:</I></P>
<P> I just use plain water for 80% of cleaning, water with mild dish soap
for 19%. Any other solvents or solutions can be hard on the plastic. If
you use rubbing alcohol, don't let it sit on the part for more than a few
seconds. Also, avoid getting petroleum jelly on the tires. </P>
<P><I>From Ed "Boxer" Jones:</I></P>
<P> I use Palmolive and warm water. One thing I also do is I have a large
wire seive (like window screen, only finer) that I place in a larger pot
of water and soap. This makes draining the pieces that much easier. </P>
<P> For drying, I air dry them. In the past, I have also used the air
only setting on the clothes dryer to remove water stuck in crevases. For
that, place the pieces in a cotton pillowcase knotted at the open end.
</P>
<P><I>From Louise Belles:</I></P>
<P> When I needed clean LEGO® pieces to build a candy dispenser, I
just bought new ones. I may be taking this quote too far: Phyllis Diller
said, "Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing, is like
shoveling the walk while it is still snowing." </P>
