I never thought I would enjoy watching someone clean Lego this much 😂

I can spend HOURS sorting. It truly is one of the most cathartic experiences ever. I've got a local thrift shop that usually has 25 pound or so bags of LEGO and I'll give each one a careful look over before I decide which one I want understanding that there are often treasures hidden inside that I can't see. I've been fairly lucky so far - minimal MegaBlock or Tyco (or puzzle pieces or crayons) but like you, I love finding pieces that I've never seen before or seen only rarely and the excitement when I find the majority of sets long discontinued (Sponge Bob and TMNT being my most exciting finds) can't be beat! The last bag I bought had the entire Friends Heartlake Grand Hotel in it and I swear somebody played with it and kept it outside 24/7 because every piece is filthy!! Your cleaning technique is going to come in so handy once I get this entire bag sorted. Thank you so much!

Yesss! Thank you so much for sharing! It is sooo cathartic right? Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it helps! :)

I started buying unsorted inexpensive bulk and sort it with my son. It is so much fun to have a lottery approach to Lego and just kind of find things that don't come packaged with an A-Z instruction manual and especially find things we wouldn't have specifically selected to buy. It is work. But there is a fruit to the labor. One suggestion is there are local libraries or other donation centers that would be quite happy to receive the non-Lego pieces (re: your "recycling" bag).

@JJJBricks 5 ай бұрын

I agree with you 100%! It is so fun! Yes so I have thought of that, however I find TONS of non-lego bricks at donation centers when I look plus most of the stuff I find is either small/beat up or a quantity that isn't really worth it. But if I was to find a larger lot of it, that is a great idea!

Good to know Brianna! I might just do that! :) I still have all the smaller parts to sort yet...

To speed up drying, you can first put the wet Lego in a pillowcase, for example, and swirl it around outdoors to remove extra water.

@JJJBricks 8 ай бұрын

Ooh good shout! But let’s be honest Storm, you do that just because it’s fun to whip Lego around outside in a pillowcase! 😂

I use a salad spinner for smaller pieces. Helps speed up the drying time!

how do you clean minifigs that come in the bulk

@JJJBricks 5 ай бұрын

I clean minifig parts with all the rest of the pieces. I’ll pull fabric elements like capes or flags, but otherwise I just make sure to separate the heads, torsos and legs so they can dry faster!

@az_natalie 11 ай бұрын

Rinse, dump, repeat. Also thanks for the lovely description of the dirty water...

I have a jacuzzi we never use. I dump em in there with a little dish soap, turn on the jets, then rinse them with the shower nozzle. 😁

@JJJBricks 5 ай бұрын

Oh heck yeah! Awesome idea!! Do you put a drain cover over it when emptying to not lose pieces?

Nice yeah I use that in the sink as well. It always scares me that a Lego piece is going to fall into the garbage disposal 😖

@stephenking2648 9 ай бұрын

Use a salad spinner to get most of water off before drying. Speeds up drying.

@JJJBricks 9 ай бұрын

Yes! I have seen that used! We don’t have one in our house cause we would probably never use it, otherwise I would have tried it, but maybe we’ll get one someday and I can test it out!

Novice question: Do you wash *all* bulk Lego that comes into your house, or only the Lego that looks dirty?

@JJJBricks 5 ай бұрын

All of it! If it’s used, I wash it. Even parts that don’t look too bad from lots I’ve gotten, I’ve washed them and the color of the water always shocks me. That’s of course a total preference. It’s not like a little dirty Lego will kill you. lol. But I like knowing it’s all been washed. It makes it all feel fresh again and is kind of way of making it feel like my Lego now.

@beth7467 5 ай бұрын

@@JJJBricks I've been ordering a bit from BrickLink (not bulk, though!) and mostly haven't been washing. Got a mailing last week though that looked suspiciously grungy, so into the lingerie bags it went! Thanks for your videos and info.

@JJJBricks 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching Beth! I’m glad it’s helping! Also good shout: I don’t normally wash Bricklink orders! I think I’ve only ordered a couple that were used parts overall though.

@williamhershey9713 6 ай бұрын

I am planning to buy a salad spinner to aid in the drying process; we have one but I'm sure that I don't want to spin my salad lettuces in the same thing I do used LEGO.

@JJJBricks 6 ай бұрын

Hahaha yes I have thought about this as well. Generally I’m ok with leaving it sit overnight to dry. It just means I need to plan a little more ahead of when I want to start sorting it!

@HallieGammon 10 ай бұрын

So for those of us who don’t have an unreasonably large sink 😂 jk jk this is very helpful. Last time I washed Lego I painstakingly laid them out to dry in a single layer and it was awful. Will definitely be using the rinse and dump plus fan method going forward!

@JJJBricks 10 ай бұрын

Yay!! Yeah I found it will dry overnight especially if you only have one layer. Glad it helped friend!

@danjal87nl 6 ай бұрын

rinse and repeat

@JJJBricks 6 ай бұрын

The name of the game! Can be quite repetitive but it feels good when they’ve gotten a fresh rinse. Even parts I’ve picked up that I’ve thought didn’t seem too dirty, after cleaning the water was more gross than I imagined so in my opinion, it’s always worth giving them a wash!
