		Help!....any advice on stopping the yellowing of older white lego pieces?
I recently bought some older classic space sets and I knew in advance that they had yellowed. I tried soaking them in a bleach and water solution but it did not help. Does anyone have ideas about stopping the yellowing and also a fix for it? Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Help!....any advice on stopping the yellowing of older white lego pieces?
How long did you soak them for? I let my yellowed parts soak for several weeks. You may also want to try increasing the bleach/water ratio. I use a dilute solution for a long time; this has whitened parts for me that were 20 or more years old, and (...) (23 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.general)

		Re: FOTL
(...) The other day I was quite stupid. I had just inherited my brothers old LEGO sets (mostly old 80's castle sets) and I was cleaning them (they can get moldy if you try hard enough.. amazingly bleach does little to affect the color or printing (...)

		In Praise of Brasso (was: Cool Score -- "Vintage" LEGO!)
(...) Brasso, indeed! I bought a tin of Brasso last night at Wal*Mart for under $3 and tried it out. It easily removed the black magic marker (except where the ink had been worked into cracks, scratches, and tooth marks) in less than a minute per (...) (24 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)

		Customizing Subgroup (was Re: Some Lego cleaning experiments)
A 1/4 part bleach to 3/4 parts water -- or some other milder conconction of bleach to water -- used on white, grey, or clear bricks and left to soak for 1- 2 weeks will absolutely work.

		Re: Brasso?
(...) I use a 1/8 part bleach to 7/8 parts water to soak lighter colored parts for a REALLY long time -- like a week or two. White and grey elements lose stains and yellowing and come out pretty nice. Experiment with other colors at your own risk (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
