I'd suggest u clean it in a glass jar instead of plastic. Most people just use mineral spirits. I only clean it if it came heavily lubed or my bearing starts acting all funny and responsive. Just take one or both shields off, pour mineral spirits in glass jar, and place the bearing in and just shake it and around and let it soak in there for a while. Than just blot it off with a towel when your done. I wouldn't advise using tissue paper or sumthing cause it can leave debris all over. After that I just give it a couple spins on a pencil and just let it air dry and your done. I've heard some people using a hairdryer or air blower compressor thingy to dry it. You can do it like that if u want to too.
