Cleaning question

Men, is it gay to...
JK. I recently took my 3x3 with me to Boy Scout summer camp, and now it's got some gritty bits in it that crunch when I turn the cube. Problem is, they're incorporated into the lube. Is it safe to soak in water if I were to remove the magnets, or should I use something else? Thanks!

Take your cube apart, get a cloth and wipe all the pieces off, then reapply the lube.

As to the first question, yes. The second, I personally wipe the pieces with paper towel. it sucks up the old dnm/sweat/cat hair better than a cloth in my experience.

Anyway, not really since its got screws and springs which can get rusty.
What Id do is take it apart and wipe each piece with a cloth or something - also saves you taking out the magnets. Then Id re apply the lube so it gets its feeling back.

Yeah, but I'm broke and I'm not fast enough yet to need a better one.

Gan 356 M isn't great but I do have a sub 10 ao5 with it so it can be solid up to a decent level.

Water soaking doesn't work well. Just take a damp paper towel and scrub thoroughly. And don't try and turn it with the grit in it. That's like murder on the plastic internals.

Guys, I did it! And the outside was slightly stained (I was cubing with schmutz on my fingers ) so I used a Mr Clean Magic Eraser to clean it lol. Worked surprisingly well.

Yes. I love you too.

No, I love you morer!
