Here's how to clean those record-breaking divots off your irons.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Rub rust off metal clubs with fine steel wool.

  2. Step 2

    Remove golf ball marks, mat marks and grass stains with golf club cleaner (found at golf shops).

  3. Step 3

    Clean out grooves by scrubbing them with water and a hard-bristled toothbrush. Dry your clubs immediately after cleaning them.

  4. Step 4

    Wash leather grips with saddle soap.

Tips & Warnings
  • If your grips become too smooth, try rubbing them with a wire brush or fine sandpaper.
  • Waxes to protect your irons and woods are available at golf shops.
  • Use covers for club heads to keep them clean and prevent scratches and chipping.
  • Using steel wool on any non-rusted part of your club can cause permanent damage, and you should use it gently on rusted areas.

on 12/11/2007 Question:; I have stainless irons. They are not plated so they look very dull and aged(after only 1 year). I've tried polishing and waxing, and still no results! What is a man to do? I can't afford the black fog treatment which costs $50 per club. Any ideas?

on 4/2/2007 I let my clubs sit in a hot bucket of Murphy's oil soap for 5 minutes. Then use a special groove cleaning tool and a finger nail brush. I rinse the clubs off in cool water then dry right away. Also, make sure to clean your shafts to remove hand prints. Happy Cleaning. Buffalo, NY
