I was told that the small gears in the derailleur should not be put in white spirit or acetone, because it would also remove the grease in the bearings 🤔.

I used degreaser, but it left a black grease. I removed the small gears in the derailleur and used degreaser, then scrubbed with white spirit and then with isopropanol. But I didn't soak it, because I heard it can dissolve the grease in the bearings.
