June 30, 200719 yr I was wondering if Mr.Clean was a citrus based cleaner, and if it had water in it... I need to clean my skateboard's bearings, I have lube, I have a lint-free cloth... everything, except the cleaner. Thanks for all your help. Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude? Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you? Camera guy: still laughing Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy Camera guy: runs away still laughing Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]! Matt: FUNNY ISN'T REAL! FUNNY ISN'T REAL!
June 30, 200719 yr No you cant sorry, it isnt too expensive to just buy from a shop tho. The Mr Clean may work but I wouldnt risk it as bearings can be expensive.
June 30, 200719 yr I used to skate back in the day (well, not skateboard, but whatever) and I believe my Razor Creams manual said never to wash the bearings...With anything. Get all the dirt off with a cloth of some kind, then oil 'em. That's it. And don't skate through mud. Pick your damn board up and walk.

June 30, 200719 yr Author But it said on the paper I got from my speed cream to wash them with a citrus based cleaner, or gumout carburator. So, I just need to wipe them with a cloth?

June 30, 200719 yr Washing bearings with a substance is a really bad idea. Go with cloth and water. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

July 1, 200719 yr vinegar or peroxide maybe... water will probably work too, if its stainless steel it shouldn't do any harm.
July 1, 200719 yr Water and cloth. Or just cloth. Like LP said, if it's stainless steel, which it probably is, no harm done, if you're not sure, just use cloth. Why use chemical stuff when you don't have to? 2480+ total
July 1, 200719 yr Christ, just wash them with water and a rag. Thread over. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

July 1, 200719 yr Author If I remember high school chemistry, any citrus based cleaner will disolve the grease in the bearings, making them pretty much useless. You're supposed to wash them with the citrus based cleaner to wash both old lube and the dirt, then relube them. So it does make sense to use a citrus based cleaner, right? And, aren't citrus based cleaners pretty much naturl if they're citrus based? :? Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you.

July 1, 200719 yr I'm no expert, so I didn't know that they could be relubed afterwards. If so, I guess a citrus-based cleaner makes sense. And it's not the citrus that dissolves the grease, it's the citric acid in it, which is indeed perfectly natural.

July 1, 200719 yr Go with cloth and water. Wouldn't that make them rusty? :? Are you being serious? That's why you wipe the water off. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.
July 1, 200719 yr Author Good luck with that. Did you ever open your bearings? You'll find out you can't take all the water off with a cloth :roll:.

July 2, 200719 yr bearings are sealed at the factory so that they cant be contaminated with dirt...but if u just want to clean the cracks go to the grocery store and buy a freakin orange... Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. George S. Patton
