I love Charlie’s Soap. We use the laundry detergent on all of our laundry, and the Indoor/Outdoor all-purpose cleaner is just about the only household cleaner we use any more.
Today, we got out daddy’s old (and I mean 25+ years old) Legos for our son to play with, but they were pretty dusty and grimy. What to do?
Bust out the Charlie’s Soap, of course!
We filled a medium-sized sweater bag about halfway with Legos, poured in a glug or two of full-strength Charlie’s Soap Indoor/Outdoor concentrated cleaner and filled the sink about halfway with warm-to-hot water. Swish for a few minutes, watch the water turn yellowish and gross, then rinse a few times by refilling the sink with warm, clean water.
Then we poured the Legos into a colander to drain while we put them in small batches through the salad spinner to get out the water. Finally, we laid them on towels in a bucket to dry completely.
P.S. This cleaning method would work well for any toy that is fully submersible.
Wow! Maybe I will let my husband’s legos come out of storage (and not go straight to the dumpster). His are probably 30 years old and have that nasty old plastic stickiness to them. I will try this and see if we can resurrect them and save ourselves a TON of money when baby girl is old enough to build castles!
