Can I use Mr. Clean to wash off the dirt in my bearings?

Featured Replies

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.

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]!

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.

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.

Yeah trying to clean your bearings is a bad idea.

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?

I havnt got a clue, but isnt mr.clean usualy used on fabrics or something?

Washing bearings with a substance is a really bad idea.

 

 

 

Go with cloth and water.

Maybe a Mr. Clean magic eraser? Those things are the shizz.

vinegar

 

or

 

peroxide

 

 

 

maybe...

 

 

 

water will probably work too, if its stainless steel it shouldn't do any harm.

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

Christ, just wash them with water and a rag.

 

 

 

Thread over.

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? :?

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.

 

Go with cloth and water.

 

Wouldn't that make them rusty? :?

 

Are you being serious?

 

 

 

That's why you wipe the water off.

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:.

 

Sorry if I sound mean, you're trying to help me out :oops:

Bearings don't cost to much, and I realy don't think you can clean them.

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...
