5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and cleanliness of your LEGO bricks.
5.1 Cleaning LEGO Bricks
To clean LEGO bricks, wash them by hand using water no warmer than 104°F (40°C) and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid using a washing machine, dishwasher, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the bricks.
