How often do you clean your cube?

In this forum I have seen people bashed for reviving an old thread, AND people bashed for making new threads about old topics. You can't win.

In response to the topic I generally clean it out when there starts to look like a lot of gunk on the pieces. Then I add a very small amount of lube again. It's only once every few months if that much.

I am obsessive cube cleaner. I clean all five of them every three days or so. Does anybody know a way to permanently get rid of the black dust that forms in the cube after solving? It's really annoying.

This habit follows me, too. I'm trying to fall asleep, but I hear it... the voice...

Yeah, its bashed either way, so I use other criteria: less thread clutter and consolidation of information.

On that note. I might do something to set it up, but every couple months I will take them all apart and clean/ lube it. It's more of a calming project for than trying to sup-
up my cubes

I understand his reasoning and I have nothing against having a thread of this nature. BUT it is 5 years old... Like I said make a new one. If I am coming off a little mean my apologies it's just that I have never seen a forum where bumping a thread this old is ok. If it is considered fine here my bad. That being said I still stand behind what I said.

It's fine here. In fact its encouraged that if a post already exists on here that you post on that thread than make a new one.

But anyway, I clean my cubes whenever they feels slower than they should

You sir nailed it I also got bashed for creating a new thread in a proper section but instead of posting my review, I posted someone else's review...

Back on topic I clean my cube every 3 months or so. My cleaning method is not like taking a paper towel and soap and water and wiping the pieces. My method does 100% cleaning to cube with soap and water and tooth brush which I use to reach hard to reach areas which you normally do not clean properly with paper towel.

Differential oil. And it's not that it gets "slow" as much as it just locks up a lot more and feels less smooth.

My Aolong (and previous cubes) do that too, and I found it's mostly a tensioning issue. I don't clean my cubes all that often if I've been using it for a while.

No, you should never make a new thread if what you want to say/ask is related, or almost identical to a thread that is already there.
