LEGO's official support recommends hand-washing ordinary bricks and avoiding high heat. Sort old stored pieces first and check product-specific instructions for stickers and special components. Supervise children around small parts.

1. Sort pieces: Separate ordinary plastic bricks from electronic, motorized and metal-containing parts. Check special care directions for stickers or delicate components.
2. Control water temperature: Use water no hotter than 40°C (104°F) for ordinary bricks. Excess heat may deform them.
3. Hand-wash gently: Use a soft cloth or sponge, with a little mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.
4. Rinse thoroughly: Remove detergent with clean water. Use a basin so small pieces cannot slip into a drain.
5. Wipe sensitive parts: Never immerse electronics or metal-containing pieces. Wipe them with a cloth moistened with water and a mild perfume- and oil-free detergent; follow battery safety directions.
6. Air-dry in the shade: Spread on a clean towel until fully dry at room temperature. Avoid washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves, hair dryers and direct sunlight.
