a few years ago, LEGO suggested in its catalogs that if you plan
on washing your elements to never go above 104 degrees Farenheit (or however
you spell that word).  I do not know how much that is in Celsius but a 104
degree reading in the farenheit scale seems kind of toasty to me.  Of
course, I personally can not confirm this but maybe you can ask that
question to the Great Redini because floating head people generally know
more than us normal people.

104 deg F is 40 deg C

other interisting temperatures

Freezing: 32 deg F, 0 deg C
boiling: 212 deg F, 100 deg C

the above test stared out at 21 deg C that is aprox room temp 69 deg F
