How to clean wheel bearings??
So what are you using to clean the old grease out of your wheel bearings when you repack them.

About 30 years ago I read that any solvent left behind will contaminate the new grease, and to me it didn't make any sense to do that to the new grease. After that I stopped cleaning them, and I haven't had any failures, ever.
I wipe the old off, inspect and hand pack. If you don't leave the bearings loose or tighten them too much, and pack them properly, there won't be any damage to the bearing.
