When it's time to clean
It will be time to clean your cube and/or other puzzle when the mechanism has a grinding feel or is tougher to move than before. It is also time to clean if you take a piece out and it is dusty.
How to clean
The best way to clean is to take your puzzle all apart and put it in the dish washer. It is recommended that you don't let it dry in there or the stickers/tiles will fall of because of the hot air. Another way to clean it is filling a bowl with water a dish soap and letting the puzzle sit in it over night. You may also clean it with a cloth, brush and soap water. Make sure to get all the water out of the pieces (if the have gaps/holes/spaces) or it could into the core and rust the screws/springs.
