Clean Fidget Spinner - the ball bearing
Use your Fidget Spinner and possibly transport it in your pocket, lint and dust deposits in the ball bearing are inevitable. It is only logical that this contamination affects the function of the ball bearing.
- You can recognize contamination of the ball bearing by the shorter running time of the fidget spinner.
- You can reach the ball bearing by removing the caps of the toy. If they are screwed, hold one side while screwing on the other. If the caps are only inserted, carefully pry off the covers with a small screwdriver.
- The ball bearing should be accessible from both sides for effective cleaning.
Cleaning the fidget spinner: compressed air or alcohol
There are two types of cleaning for the ball bearing: Light soiling can be removed with a compressed air spray. For thorough cleaning, you should use 99.9 percent isopropyl alcohol.
- When using compressed air spray, small amounts of liquid can escape from the can. It also depends on how you hold the can. Since no liquid should remain in the ball bearing at the end, dry it thoroughly with a hair dryer.
- For thorough cleaning with alcohol, you should remove the ball bearing completely from the spinner if possible. If it is simply stuck, you can push it out to one side. If the ball bearing is glued, you should leave it in its place.
- Place the ball bearing in a bowl with isopryl alcohol and move it a little in the liquid.
- So that the alcohol really gets everywhere, take the bearing out of the liquid, turn it a little and then put it back in the bowl.
- Once the ball bearing has been cleaned, you must dry it thoroughly. The hair dryer is best suited for this. For easy handling, put the ball bearing on a long screw. So you can hold it better and dry it from all sides.
- Do not use water for cleaning: the ball bearing is made of metal and can rust.
