How to clean latex sealant from removable valves?
Moderator: Moderator Team
I just use dish soap and water.

I guess technically it is. I wonder how many (milli)grams your bike will be lighter (plus it's rotational weight)
On-topic: I need to do the same with a couple of valves I have lying around.
Weight savings aside, based on my experience with Caffélatex and FMB cyclocross tubulars, cleaning off the sealant from the valve core made a significant difference in ease of inflation of the tires. I typically used my Stans valve core removal tool then used my fingers or shop knife to remove the accumulation but you can also clean or soak the core in Goof Off adhesive remover.
