How To Clean And Lube A Rubik's Cube

I show how to disassemble, clean, lubricate and reassemble a Rubik's cube to make it smoother and faster. Basically an overhaul of the cube. I bought this Rubiks cube at a thrift store for $1. I am not sure how old it is, but it was hard to turn and would get jammed up. After cleaning it and then lubrication with some CRC Heavy Duty silicone spray, it moved pretty smoothly. Maybe not as smoothly as a speed cube, but way smoother then when I bought it.

  • Thanks! The old rubik is definitely easier to assemble and disassemble than the newer ones. I had a bit of a tough time, but I got it!

    • Umm, if you want me to be honest just buy a speed cube, if you have absolutely no other choice you can either florian mod it, and maybe even use Vaseline. But Vaseline will most likely eat through the plastic. If you have 5 dollars you can buy a YJ Guanlong from the thecubicle.us
