Like other areas on your skateboard, the wheels are susceptible to dust, dirt and grime buildup. As you roll over concrete, grass and dirt surfaces debris splashes onto the wheels and collects into the grooves and other areas of the wheels. When cleaning your skateboard's wheels, you don't want to use a cleaner that will damage or enter into the small crevices present on the wheels. A simple soap solution is all that is needed to keep your skateboard's wheels looking like new.
Place the skateboard on a clean, flat surface (counter top, workbench or other surface).
Remove any embedded rocks or other fragments from the wheels.
Fill a bucket with 2 tbsp. of dishwashing soap and 1 gallon of warm water. Wear latex gloves to keep your hands from getting wet.
Dip a soft, non-abrasive cloth or rag into the soap solution. Wring out excess solution.
Scrub each wheel. For stubborn stains and debris, scrub the spots with light pressure to breakup the buildup.
Wet a soft, non-abrasive cloth or rag with warm water from a sink. Wring out excess water.
Rinse the wheels with the damp cloth or rag.
Dry the wheels with a dry cloth or rag.
