That Brush Is Putting the Dust Back. 5 Reasons LEGO Fans Use This Instead.

Same car. Left is before, right is after CleanMyBricks.

You finish a set. You put it on the shelf. A few weeks later it looks a little dull, and a quick brush does not fix it.

The dust is still there. A brush only moves it around.

Here are 5 reasons LEGO fans now clean their sets with a small vacuum made for bricks.

1. A brush just moves the dust around

A brush or a cloth pushes dust down into the gaps between the studs, or flicks it onto the next set on the shelf.

CleanMyBricks pulls the dust off the set and keeps it in a see-through cup. You can see exactly what came off.

Everything in that cup came off one set.

2. Your sets go grey so slowly you don't notice

Dust settles a little every day, so the change is hard to see from across the room.

Put a before and after side by side and the difference is clear. These are real sets from LEGO fans. Drag the line.

3. It gets your set back to how it looked the day you finished it

Soft brushes lift dust out of corners and fine parts. 12,000Pa suction pulls it off the studs. Switch to the blower for tight spots you cannot reach.

Small pieces that get pulled in stay in the cup, behind the filter. Tip them out and put them back.

Two power levels, up to 40 minutes per charge, and it charges with a USB-C cable.

This is a lovely upgrade to the original clean My bricks I have. Feels more powerful, looks better and cleans away the dust, what more could you want!

Total game changer for anyone who loves building with LEGO! It’s small but surprisingly powerful. The suction function easily picks up tiny LEGO pieces without any hassle! I also love the blowing function; it helps clear dust off my sets without disturbing the builds. Plus, it comes with different attachments that make it super easy to get into tight spaces.

We're absolutely thrilled! It comes with lots of extra parts and even a spare filter. It's equipped with two cleaning modes and comes with a nice fabric bag for storing all the parts. 😊👍

Many thanks to Cleanmybricks😇😇😊😊

It has new features the old one did not, including two power levels and the ability to switch from suction to blower. Very useful for the collection and many other things.
