Cube dust - just clean it

[ElectricDoodie]

You should invest in a better cube though. Alpha is outdated.

My first speed cube was an Alpha V. I used to love it.
I haven't used it in years since I got other cubes, like Guhong and ZhanChi. Yesterday I tried to do a solve with my Alpha V to see how it felt, and I can't believe I used to solve with that cube.

Diff oil did nothing other than make it gummy. It locked up like crazy, and popped way too much.
It was just weird thinking that I used to love that cube.

you can't get rid of it. the more you solve, the more there will be. just clean it out if you don't like it.

MY Dayan Zhanchi has a similar problem. grayish black dust is accumulated and it makes my cube slow. i wipe the dust off once a week lube it and then it turns out awesome. I have a shengshou aurora but it doesn't seem to have such a problem.

Does the dust actually matter?

I Need Help about the CUBE DUST i

Hello Everyone!
My name is Pranav and I need Help with the CUBE DUST accumulating in my YJ YULONG STICKERLESS 3x3

The problem is that the Dust is accumulating in my cube after like 15 solves I think so and because of that the Cube is Becoming Tight and there are lots of Corner Twists but the pieces don't pop. I can Hardly Practice with my cube. Its not at all Smooth and Is very Clumsy although its only a Month old!! I need Serious Help.

What kind of lube do you use? Maybe you should consider changing it.

Actually we don't get any sort of Lube in my City in India, so i am not using any kind of Lube.....

If you lube the cube, the piece should move faster and there is less friction, so there is less cube dust. Maybe you should lube the core because sometimes there is some dust coming from the core. Just buy lube online.

+when lubing, it's easier to practice and have better times.
