I know the lego instructions say you can hand wash Lego bricks, but in a
garage sale buy recently I got a lot of very grubby white bricks which I
was not about to start handwashing, especially when scrubbing one of
them with a veggie brush had no discernible effect. So I put them in a
mesh bag inside a pillowcase and slung them in the washer with a load of
"delicates". Worked like a charm. Did the bricks no harm and they came
up much much cleaner than they went in (not perfect, but usable instead
of unusable).


I did that too, and bleached them with no apparent ill effect.  I had to
poke a hole in my pillowcase to get the air out.  It blew up like a balloon
when it got in the water.  It was hell on the washer during the spin cycle,
because the two I had in there weren't quite offsetting each other properly.
