Out of all the cleaners turps has to be the worst for your health. Please do not use it and if you do please use gloves and do it in a well ventilated area!!! I was recommended kerosene by some other skaters as it leaves nice thin film.

If you're cleaning with organic solvents (turps, kero etc) make damn sure you remove the bearing cage (the bit that holds the balls in place) if it's a removable plastic one. That should be cleaned with something far less aggressive. I…
