LEGO Whitening
Origional: 2014-10-26 Updated: 2019-11-06
My biggest complaint about LEGOs in terms of quality was that older pieces, especially white ones, would yellow over time, especially in direct sunlight.
The yellowing is due to a chemical process, which can be reversed using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)and Oxy-clean.

LEGO Sorting
I am in the process of changing the LEGO sorting scheme I had as a child to something better. These are my thoughts and experiences on how to organize LEGO. The general goal is to sort by both type and color; that is, for each type, have several bins, but not one for each color.
