A bleach/water mixture. Let it soak for a few days. Repeat as necessary, or just let it soak for longer. You bricks will then be sqeaky clean, literally!

Thanks.

I know what you mean about squeaky - I recently bought an older set on eBay, and the bricks felt odd - they gripped a bit more tightly than most, and seemed almost too clean - and sure enough they squeaked as they went together and came apart.

  
   And, even more importantly, are there any thoughts on removing the yellowish tinge that you get on (some) older grey bricks?

Same deal, but you may end up with some grey bricks that are just a teeny bit lighter in color than your other grey bricks. Blame the bleach.

Better slightly lighter than slightly yellow (IMHO)!

   Don’t smoke around your bricks.

I’d edit that to just “Don’t smoke” ;-)

Cheers
