I have recently got a couple of extremely well-used sets on ebay. (Translated
that means that their condition was far worse than advertised!)
I did the washing machine thing to remove the dust, grime, and whiten those
very-yellowed-whites as best I could, but I still have a number of bricks
which occur in highly visible parts of the models which have been written on
with some kind of felt-tip marker pen.
After 30 minutes in the washing machine,I think I can say it is not
water-soluble. Any cleaning fluids that anyone can recommend?
