When you get used to riding a really quiet and well tuned bike you can also become acutely aware of anything that might be amiss.
My wife was at the pool with the boys. I used boiling water and a bit of citrus cleaner to degrease the bearings, cones, axle and dust covers. I also used one of her pans and her kitchen!!! It was much more "sterile" than my workbench in the garage. Cooler too!!
