Hi all,
Quick question. I have just received a HUGE amount of used Lego I won in an
eBay auction. Some of it is quite dirty/greasy etc and I want to have a go
at cleaning it up a bit.
My question is, in your expert opinions, what is the best way to do this?
Warm water and washing up liquid?
Anyone tried putting Lego in a dishwasher at low setting? Is that a stupid
idea? (Probably!)
Obviously, I'm not about to load up my dishwasher full of Lego, but I just
wondered what the best way to clean it up is?
Hope you can help
Richard.

| I have a method that works well for "dirty/greasy" used LEGO... Soak the bricks in a solution of hot water and dishwashing detergent. Use one table spoon of detergent to one gallon of hot water. The water should not be too hot! If it hurts your (...) (23 years ago, 28-Oct-01, to lugnet.general)
