Have you ever wondered how to clean dirty LEGO you buy secondhand? In this video, I’m walking you through my exact process using LEGO City set 60182 (Pickup & Caravan) from 2018—because this thing showed up dusty, grimy, and just rough enough that it needed a proper reset before it earned a spot in my LEGO City. I break the whole set down (about 344 pieces), separate the sticker parts so they don’t get wrecked, and then use a simple sink setup with a colander/strainer and a little dish soap to safely wash everything. I show how I scrub pieces with an “extra” brush (not the one you use on cups), what to watch for with window parts and pieces that stick together, and how I handle sticker pieces and minifigs by hand so the stickers don’t peel. Drying is a big deal too—spread everything out on a towel, blot carefully, and let it air dry (I usually leave it overnight) so you don’t trap water and end up with mildew or water spots. After that, I do a quick sort, pull the instructions from the LEGO website, and rebuild the set—missing the kid minifig (and a couple extras), but overall the cleanup was 100% worth it and the caravan is absolutely the best part of this build.
