Question: When should my inline skate bearings be cleaned?
Answer: Inline skate bearings need to be cleaned if you can feel any resistance or friction when the wheels turn or if any grinding or scratchy sounds occur when the wheels spin.

You should also consider cleaning inline skate bearings after any skating session which involves skating in unusually wet, dirty, sandy or muddy environments.
