Cleaning grips

Thought I'd finally get round to re-gripping my putter as it was pretty shiny and slippery, so have ordered the stuff.  In the meantime I thought I'd have a go at cleaning up the old one - so I had a go at it with Mangers sugar soap - after all it's used for getting grease and stuff off of surfaces before painting so why not a grip?  I used a green abrasive pad and gave it a good scrub followed by a good rinse and dried it off with a soft, dry towel.

The results are quite amazing, it's as good as the day I bought it.  Not sure if it'll have any long term effect on the rubber (phoned Mangers and they say it should be fine if it's thoroughly rinsed off) so will try it on the rest of the clubs to see what happens.    

No comparison Matt.  The grip is now matt black instead of gloss and although not actually sticky it does feel tacky.

I'll give it a couple of days though...
