Cleaning Golf Club Grips
1. Gather Cleaning Materials
As with cleaning the clubheads, there are a
couple ways to clean your golf grips. You can simply wipe them down with
a moist cloth, then dry with a second cloth. You can also spray on a
mild liquid cleanser, such as Windex, then wipe off.
The method described here takes a few
more minutes than the Windex or water methods, but it works well for
getting off the grime that builds up, and for washing away oils from our
hands and chemicals from the golf course.
You'll need a mild dishwashing detergent
and two cloths, one to use wet and the other to dry with.
2. Fill a Sink with Water and Suds
Insert a stopper in your kitchen sink.
Squirt a little dishwashing detergent into the sink, then fill the sink
with warm (not hot) water. Create a lot of suds.
3. Grab Some Suds and Rub Into the Grip
Take each of your clubs in turn. Use the
wet cloth to grab some suds, then rub the suds into the grip using the
towel.
4. Rinse
Turn each grip under flowing water to
rinse off the detergent. Be careful not to get water all over of the
shafts when rinsing the grips.
5. Dry
Using the dry cloth, dry each grip as
soon as it is rinsed off. Check the shafts at this time, too, and if
water has gotten onto the shafts, dry them as well.
