My cat shat in the Lego box

[StuntNun]

Any tips on how to clean Lego? There are loads of tiny pieces that will go down the plug hole if I try and wash it in the bath. DH says he used a sieve last time he had to wash Lego but there's way too much for that.

Oh God, that's bad! Have you got one of those net laundry bags for delicates? You could put it all in there and then proceed to wash in the bath, maybe?

Have you got a zippy up pillowcase? Or a cushion cover that will cope with a one two around the washing machine?

Put the sieve upside down over the plug hole.

my cat is a prick too.

There is several cubic feet of Lego. It's a hell of a job trying to wash it.

Laundry bag on the top rack of the dishwasher maybe?

I'd stick it in a laundry bag, soak in boiling water and washing up liquid in a sink, then whack the whole thing in the washing machine on hot (the Lego bag, not the cat).

Put in the bath with a plug hole strainer over plug hole, use several changes of water and I would use some bleach or disinfectant in there as well but rinse really well.

Yep, two tier wash.

Have you asked the cat why?

My cat did this, think he thought it was a litter tray! There was a Tsum Tsum in there as well and it got shat on

Do you mean your cat sat in the Lego box and there is now hair everything. Actually pooing in it doesn't bear thinking about. I collect Lego and I am never getting a cat. Mn has also totally put me off dogs.

He accidentally got locked in the garage a while ago so I'm assuming he got caught short.

Maybe the car is sick of standing on lego? It's a kind of protest?

Would've applauded him a few years ago!

I bought home a load of kids work to mark in a school plastic tray once. Never again.

You need Jackson Galaxy - he will sort your naughty cat out!

I think you can put it in the washing machine, perhaps in one of those mesh laundry bags?

It's about 10 cubic feet of Lego. It won't fit in the washing machine or dishwasher! DH is trying to wash it in the bath.

Throw away and buy more?

From recent experience, I'd split it and wash it in the dishwasher, in a pillow case. It's the best way to sterilise it and get all the poo out if the tiny cracks 🤢

What do you mean it won't fit in washing machine or dishwasher - you can do two or three loads...

I think it would be more like 10-15 loads - it's a lot of Lego.

I had a load of towels and blankets ready for the cat and dog home. Cat pissed on them. Considering it’s rescue we got him from I think that’s horrid behaviour. Didn’t even believe me when I said I might just take him back instead.
I’d say definitely a few loads in the machine.

Surely the cat poop was in a fairly contained area? Do you really need to wash it all?

But how much poo can there be?

No advice OP but this sounds like exactly the sort of thing our old cat would have done, and I'm suddenly very grateful that in all the years of DS1 having Lego spread over the house, we never had to deal with cleaning cat shit off of it!
