Thank you for this video, I dreaded cleaning legos cause it would take so long for them to dry but the salad spinner trick was very smart and now it only takes me like an hour
3:39 That spider instantly caught my eyes...
Where is the spider? I'm freaking out now.
@@scorpionwins6378 pause at 3:40its in the middle of the screen just a bit to the left
The Lego spider
For the last step, I put them in a Nesco food dehydrator on the lowest setting (90 F). They're dry in about an hour
This is truly a ninjago spinjitzu moment
Great idea, I love this.
Using a salad spinner to clean Lego pieces is so brilliant. Thanks for the tip!
This guy should be running the country ❤
you're a lifesaver!
I did really good, I use my salad spinner to clean my Lego Shell Tanker last year to give it away. Thank You! 🤗
Great idea. So much better than using a washer
But what do i do if i have a like whole great Lego set like the harry Potter castle one do i got tta like destroy it and then after the process rebuild it
Salad spinner - the definitive LEGO cleaner
Do you trust using this method on painted bricks ?
Thank YOU! ALSO: da heck is a salad spinnah?!??!
How do you buy legos in bulk? what is the best price to pay for them? And how do you find deals so you can buy buld legos and make awesome scores? Thanks please lmk
@Koowluh I found a sweet deal on legos at a Half Price Books. maybe check some of them out?
I found a gallon bag of legos at an antique shop
Facebook marketplace has a lot of them.
goood
I find alcohol to be more useful to wash pieces even tho all kids dont have itor arent allowed to have it but wh3n its highly concentrated theres not much water so there is less risks for the pieces get moldy so like 96% concentrated alcohol and some dry towls
Not a great idea. That high of alcohol content will damage the parts. ABS plastic doesn't dissolve in alcohol but it can be damaged, and any kind of coating or surface finish will be damaged as well. Longer exposure will visibly soften corners and erode details. Compare to mechanical key caps made of ABS and look at some of the tests
@@rylanyoung2018so is it a just don’t leave the alcohol on too long thing or just don’t use it at all?
@@nuggetschicken1781 In my experience it's best to just avoid it. You could use a lower percent bottle dilute it a bit yourself with distilled water but the issue with doing that is that the solution will take longer to evaporate so it might have a better chance of doing damage.
Any kind you use is prone to linger in small enclosed areas which can wear them down. You might notice softened edges and corners. I guess it depends on how long and what types of pieces but it doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
I have a mech keyboard with ABS caps and alcohol solution has visibly dissolved a lot of edges and altered the surface finish in a way that feels inconsistent and a bit rough in some spots.
The underside of a couple of the caps where they connect to the switch have eroded stems and the inside of the stem is "stripped" so the cap fits much more loosely on the switch.
Because of this I would imagine it would be quite easy to accidentally damage lego parts on account of their tight tolerances.
If you decide to use it, my non-expert advice would be to use a slightly diluted solution, and a spray bottle to lightly mist the exterior edges. If cleaning inside edges I would use even less and immediately dry it as best as possible.
Either way, I would use a fan to evaporate as much of the remaining alcohol as possible over about a minute and then soak the parts in a water bath of some kind, with soap. I THINK this would allow the alcohol to dissolve dirt/grime on the surface and kill bacteria but not seriously damage the parts or allow the solution to linger for too long before being diluted by the water bath. I can't really be sure though.
@@rylanyoung2018 appreciate the reply bro, i actually just cleaned them today with dish soap and water and it worked perfectly fine so id agreed its unnecessary overkill
how about.. I dunno... 174 gallons of lego? I need a rally big spinner then
Do a gallon a day!
@@johnskinner7271 yeaa.... Kind adid that. Took a while
I had an image in my head of this guy coming home from his job and opening the front door to an avalanche of Lego parts engulfing him from the waist down.
Seriously though how do you have so much Lego?
@@scorpionwins6378 Only thing I dreamed about as a kid. Spent all my money and did some odd jobs as soon as possible. Got a summerjob at 12 and havn't had a free summer since.
Also I owned a fleemarket for 5 years and I... kinda reserved all Lego that came in. But I paid always a fair price
How doesn’t this have any comments?
i have found you yet again
I don't think this will be efficient enough since we have an insane Mice infestation and I have two whole totes filled to the lip with Lego and they have ALL been defecated on.. And we don't have a salad spinner
Invest in tubs that have the foam liner for weather proofing
I don't Have Salad Spinner
For that part I would use my hand to and spin it along with the pieces
What if i don't have a salad spinner?
Just use a big sieve and shake and swirl it 😀. That’s what I do.
this clean the coronavirus? XDDDD
