Kelso Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, I am 18 years old and I live in the Netherlands. Ive decided to start my old lego hobby again. I'm realy into lego star wars and i'm thinking about making a costum hoth base. So im thinking about buying the wampa cave or the new 2013 hoth base set :). Since i havent used my lego for a while its become a bit dusty. what is the best way to clean it ? Bricks mainly. Also how do i keep builds clean and lose pieces clean? :; Kelso Edited January 14, 2013 by Kelso Quote
krispy Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Hello Kelso and welcome. Pretty much a n00b here too As for the brick cleaning: I've done mine in buckets with some washing soda (Vanish Oxi Action; "Vertrouw op roze, vergeet vlekken" etc.) which bubbled the grime and dust right off. Some people swear by putting their brick in pillowcases (put them in the case and close it by tieing it in a knot) and washing them in their washing machine at 40 degrees celcius. I've tried that, but in my case the knot always came loose, sprinkling bricks throughout my washer. Also, some say that if you use a hydrogen peroxide based cleaner, you can get rid of the discoloration in your bricks as well. Vanish doesn't do that though (my bricks are about 20 years old and the whites... well.. aren't any more ). Quote
