how can you clean bearings?
i am putting a block together and stupidly got some dirty grease on some new bearings. since it's a bad idea to use brake cleaner on bearings, what could i use?
i was thinking about using some rubbing alcohol. any pros, please chime in.

Wipe the grease off with a paper towel.
Wash with Dish soap (ie: Palmolive), hot water, and a nylon dish washing brush or a soft dish rag that doesn't leave lint.
Blow dry with a blow gun.
Lube the back side with oil and install by sliding the bearing into the half. Lube the face of the bearing with assembly lube (ie: Torco) and install cap.
