Newbie, club cleaning question

lizzylad84

Hi,

New to the sport of golf. Following a near fatal cycling crash, I decided to take things a bit slower a star as hobbies are concerned.

Just a quick question in relation to cleaning golf clubs. What are the best products to clean clubs? We have a tube of the household cleaner "pink stuff" here in the house, can that be used?

I'd imagine that would be fine to use. I don't think there's anything in that which would impact on clubs

Generally I'djust use a bit of hot water with some fairy liquid in it when my clubs get their roughly semi-annual clean.

El Guapo!

Yeah warm soapy water and a brush is all you really need.

Be careful of the likes of Pink Stuff etc when cleaning woods. Some of those cleaners have abrasives that will scuff up the finish.

Generally speaking, a little soap and water will be fine. I wouldn't use pink stuff as it's very abrasive You will quickly damage the paint and finishing on your clubs. For example, its main use in my gaff is to grind off crud and oxidisation on stainless steel pots/pans. Probably overkill tbf and you can ruin a putter or wood/hybrid/drive in seconds.

To make the cleaning process easier, it's even better if you keep the clubs clean on course. I picked up a groovit brush (like this one https://egngolf.eu/collections/grooveit-brushes/products/grooveit-brush ). You top it up with a little water, squirt the club face and brush away all the crap. A quick wipe of your towel and good as new. It's massively reduced the amount of cleaning needed and your grooves are always perfect for the next shot.

The only outlier is if you get raw wedges that are meant to rust, they are not designed to be polished clean. Remove the muck but don't worry if they form a patina. I've seen a few raw iron sets too but they're very rare.

I clean my clubs after most rounds as I find it good for the head turning up next time with clean clubs.

All you need is a bucket, some warm water, a hard bristled brush, a towel and fairy liquid. Dump your clubs in the bucket for a few minutes to loosen any dirt in the grooves, take them out and give the faces a brush and then dip them again. Pull out and dry off. Easy as that.

Just be careful not to have the water too deep and cover the ferrule as it can affect the glue if it's too hot. Also, only put your irons and wedges in there. Never woods as they are hollow and can trap water and this can damage the internal structures and will also make a pain in the arse sloshing sound you get enough in there.

If you have raw wedges, dry them immediately unless you want them to rust.

Soak your irons and wedges in coke overnight, will have them sparkling.
