LEGO Tip of the Week #57: Give Your LEGO a Good Cleaning!
LEGO sets have an amazing ability to collect dust—especially when they’ve been sitting on display for a while.
Here’s an easy solution: grab an old toothbrush.
A clean, soft-bristled toothbrush is perfect for gently brushing dust out from between studs, around minifigures, and in all those little spaces that are difficult to reach with a cloth.
For LEGO pieces that need a deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a little mild dish soap. Gently wash the pieces by hand, rinse them well, and let them air-dry completely before rebuilding or storing them.
I recommend you don’t use very hot water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners. And be especially gentle with printed pieces and stickers.
Also, if you’re cleaning a completed set, take a picture first. That way, if anything comes loose while you’re cleaning, you’ll know exactly where it belongs.
A toothbrush may not make your LEGO collection mint condition…
But it can make it minty clean. 😄

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.
If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.
If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.
If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
I teach other languages on my site, too. The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
