No lemon juice. The acid will pit the metal in the bearings causing premature failure and rough riding. What damage the acid doesn't do, the water will in the form of rust. The sugar will attract dirt. Clean them in denatured alcohol. A special cleaning unit isn't necessary. Just use a glass peanut jar. Bones Reds are a decent 'value' bearing, but their quality has slipped. Spitfire and Independent have good bearings in your price point.
