I use one dip to clean mine. Is about the only thing I will use on them. Also when checking them out I sit it flat on the bench and turn the balance till the roller pins from rest are turned 270 deg. I then let it go and just spin freely while holding it. If it does not rotate at least 3 minutes before coming to a stop you still have problems. A lot of time I will replace the wire that runs up thru the middle as it maybe worn. I like mine to run at least 3 to 5 minutes just sitting there spinning freely. If it does you are good to go. The worst I have seen maybe spin 30 seconds and like I said less than 3 minutes they are gone. Attached is 2 pdf files I keep right beside my bench.
