Edit: Appreciate all the replies!! Going to give cleaning with solvent/oil a try but will likely just order a new roller (duh, can’t believe I didn’t think of that!)

Despite being hidden under a silicone cap and other housing, this bearing regularly gets clogged up with dog hair and needs to be cleaned out. Today, the washer on the top of the bearing popped off and exposed a horrifying amount of gunk inside.

I’ve tried picking some of it out but realize that it would take hours and likely just build up again.

That being said, how can I replace this bearing? It measures 11mm in diameter and is attached by a metal rod underneath (though I’m not sure how it’s attached).

Also open to tips on cleaning it out if replacing it isn’t an option.

TIA!

These have been popping up a lot in our backyard this year. I removed about 10 of them today around dinner time. Less than 3 hours later, ~20 more popped up. Honestly just impressed by how quickly they grow!

Long time lurker of this sub so I know better than to try to eat them :) I’ve just been pulling them to make sure our dogs don’t try to sneak a bite.

If it’s relevant - we had the windows open all day and a wood shop in the basement that we just deep cleaned last night.

Freaking out a bit, can someone tell me if I need to deep clean my entire house and peel off my skin?
