Cleaning Cork Handles

How do you guys clean your cork rod handles? Mine could use some love!

rubbing alcohol and a rag

Soap, water, & rag.

yup. I use hot water with dish soap in a glass, dip a rag in and that dirt comes right off.

Mr. Clean magic eraser

Dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water, use a dobie pad. Cleans cork up really nicely. I use it on Kistler and St Croix rods.

don't spend much, go to wal-mart buy a bag of wipes for babys, and use that,

This is the way to clean the handles. Do not use alcohol. It will dry the cork.

It should have said Mr Clean Magic Eraser. A little soap and water and the handle looks like new

This and a little soap/warm water and you are good to go

Chlorox wipes. Kills the mold/mildew too.

This is what I use very easy and fast.

Simple green, fine steel wool. Rinse with water

This !!!!

Disregard all other posts and use a magic eraser. It's like magic!

The magic eraser takes off a thin layer of cork too, just a heads up for u guys doing that. And alcohol and bleach/chlorox products will dry the cork til it peels. That's why I use dawn dish soap and warm water. You'll get just as good of a result with less damage or scuffing of the cork.

Armor All wipes and a magic eraser will make them new again.

Dawn, warm water and sponge.

Wash cloth wet with warm water. Simply apply pressure as you turn the handle in your hand. Takes elbow grease. Makes them look brand new.

We usally fish 2 or more tournaments each winter/spring in an all day down pour... cleans them nicely.

If its really stained/grungy you can go over the bad spots lightly with real fine grit sandpaper
