Clean mine after every round with water and have no probs.

Are yours forged..?

Not at all, I usually do mine in the bath (after I've done me!!!).

I leave them to soak for 10 mins then i use a nailbrush with a little fairy liquid, I also do the grips but don't soak them.

Just dip them in quickly and then use the nailbrush with the liquid soap, rinse again quickly and then just generally dry them off with an old towel and leave somewhere to dry fully then re bag them mate.

Does it damage them when it rains?   

I do mine in exactly the same way as Wanye, but in a washing up bowl of warm water rather than the bath.  The nailbrush is great for getting the dirt our of the grooves on your irons.  As long as you dry them off with a towel and then give them around 30 minutes to air off before storing you'll be fine.  Also, if you rub a little fairy liquid on the grips it makes them really sticky - a good tip for the winter months (also a little fairy liquid in brick laying mortar makes the mortar more pliant and the laying easier - my tip of the day). 

And mine are forged. 

I clean mine using warm water as the other contributors, except that I use an electric toothbrush to get the dirt out of the grooves, particularly good for the spin milled area on my wedges.  It does sometimes loosen the glue on the hosel (but that's only the cosmetic bit) but a bit of superglue can stick them back in place.  Have used washing up liquid on the grips for many years - a trick I picked up for motorcycle grips when my brother raced them.  If the clubs are a bit stained give 'em a polish with Solvol Autosol - works on steel heads, shafts, titanium and composite shafts a treat.  Also applied sparingly with an electric toothbrush.

Tight buggar, buy Febmix.

Didn't need them.  I get Jo to do the barbequing.  I'm not trusted with naked flames in the garden since I had a bonfire that came close to the fire brigade being called and the house nearly being part of the bonfire.......

I wash mine with warm water and a toothbrush at least once a month, mine are forged and fine.

I also have an old tooth brush head in my pocket when i play to keep the grooves clean mid round too. well worth it , saves trying to use a tee or one of those wire brushes that scratch your clubs

I do the same as all the above replies- althought i do then finish off with a ptfe lubricant spray. If its good enough to protect my tools then its good enough to protect my clubs.

A little fairy liquid on the grips makes them tacky - great for damp winter months. 

If your grips are worn, get them changed.  Just had a new one fitted to my driver for £3.48, including a Lambkin grip.  When it's that cheap (and it only took ten minutes) there's no excuse. 

A bowl of warm, soapy water.

Clean the grooves on my iron with a small nylon brush.

Run a damp cloth up the shaft and then over the grips.

Using a dry towel wipe the whole club, leave to stand for half and hour or so.

If your grips are really worn then it would be better to get new ones fitted, if they are not worn then cleaning them will make them last longer.
