Tackle Warehouse sells it. Some Wally worlds can ship but don't know if they carry in store or not.

Clorox cleanup spray with bleach, scrub with a brush, rinse off and towel dry...best I’ve found for this

I've always used rubbing alcohol. Always worked good for me.

Baby wipes. Not only does it work great without using harsh chemicals, but it also softens the cork and makes for a more comfortable handle
