You could always "soak the cork"! LOL

I thought somebody else would have thrown that out on this one. The SNL skit, "cork soakers". hahaha

Good luck, let us know what method you went with.

Loomis recommends 1/3 bleach with 2/3 water. Scrub with rag them rinse with water. They will look new again.

I always use "Goop" hand cleaner. Wet the cork, get some Goop in your hand and rub it into the cork for about 30 seconds. Rinse and towel dry. The cork will look like new.

no need for anything other than water on a rag.

Keep it simple.

Dish soap with warm water and a sponge make 'em look near new.

Mild soap and that is made for fishing odors, warm water and a wash cloth with a little elbow grease.
