Is it OK if I disassemble my cubes and wash them with water and dish soap to completely remove all lube from them?
Not only what @UnknownCuber said, but sometimes I'd take apart all the pieces and leave them soaking (except the core) in dish soap and warm water overnight. And these are with my stickered cubes. Although I only do this if I don't have the time to clean everything right away.

For the most part, if you've got a microfiber cloth, just wiping all the pieces clean should be pretty good enough.

Core Lubing of a YG MGC
I would describe myself as an intermediate cuber but the core of the YG MGC looks pretty different from any other cube that I've lubed? Does anyone have any idea how to lube it? Any help is appreciated.

Can I not wash the core?

That I'm not sure. Teh Yoshi was talking about soaking it overnight. That I believe would trust it. I wouldn't try it :) Just wipe down with rag (microfiber if possible).

Hey, I bought a valk 3 2 months ago . It works fine but has developed a whitish powder in between pieces . I was wondering how to clean it? I can't afford a lube , so cleaning and then using it without lube will damage the cube or not ?
PS:- recently it has started lagging and it just is not as smooth as it was

I don't think using a cube without lube can damage it. That sort of residue is very normal once you use cubes for a long time (with or without lube). If you clean it out with a paper towel, it should be good as new (although it might have a dry feel due to a lack of lube).

Where can I find a good video on how to reassemble my valk 3 ? I seem to have problem breaking it in

How can I make an overlubed Gan SM lose the lubricant? I accidentally lubed it with DNM 37 and its been way to fast and slimy
