How to clean golf clubs?

There are many ways in which you can care for your golf clubs at home! The first step is always cleaning off any dirt or debris which may have accumulated on them during play. You can do this by either wiping each individual piece down with a damp cloth and some club polish, or using household items to clean them. Below we have discussed each of these methods in detail so you know exactly how to clean your golf clubs at home. You can pick the one that suits you and gives you the best results.​All of these methods are safe for use on your golf clubs.

Method 1: To clean your golf clubs, all you need is a damp cloth and some club polish [2]. Wipe each individual piece of the golf club down with the towel. This will remove any dirt or debris that has accumulated on them during play. When wiping off excess dirt, avoid using excessive force as this can cause wear to the grip tape which keeps the golf club in your hand. After you have finished wiping, apply the polish to the surface of each individual piece.

Method 2: Another way that you can clean your golf clubs is to fill a bucket with warm water and add some dish soap as well as a few drops of bleach. Once this mixture has been created, dunk each part of the golf club in it. Allow them to soak for a few minutes before removing the grips and giving each individual piece a thorough scrubbing with the dish brush. Rinse all of the pieces off with clean water and dry thoroughly before putting your grips back on so that they do not become sticky or discolored from prolonged exposure to moisture.

Method 3: If you do not want to spend any money on items that can be used to clean your golf clubs, then there are a few household materials which will suffice. Fill up a sink or bucket with warm water and add some dish soap as well as baking soda. Dunk each part of the golf club in it for about ten seconds before removing and scrubbing with the dish brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry before putting grips back on.

Method 4: You can also use a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice for this task as well (in lieu of club cleaner). All you need is a bowl and a towel. Wet the towel with water before adding the vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda to it. Wrap your golf club in this mixture for about five minutes before rinsing off and wiping dry on both sides.

Method 5: One thing that you can also do is put some of those little cleaning cloths that come with eyeglasses in warm water and then put them on your golf club. This will clean it without any harsh chemicals, as well as help to remove dirt from the grips should you want that option.

Method 6: If all else fails and you do not have anything at home which can be used for cleaning your clubs, make sure that they are not wet and take them to a nearby sports store. They will be able to give you advice on how best to clean up your golf clubs, as well as sell you the necessary equipment for doing so.

After cleaning your golf clubs, you should make sure to store them in a dry place like paper bags or cloth sleeves. This will help prevent the grips from sticking together and becoming discolored as well as keeping dirt and debris off of them when they are not being used.

How to shine your golf clubs?

Shining your golf clubs is an important part of caring for them. It will make the metal parts shine, and clean off any dirt that may be on there from a day out on the course. There are many ways to do this: 

• The most traditional way is with just some water and a towel or cloth, which can be done with just your hands. 
• A bucket of water and some dish soap is also a popular choice, as it will clean off any dirt that may be on the club by removing oil from the surface. 
• Some people use wax instead of water, which can make them shine more brightly if you’re looking for an extra boost. 
• There are also paste cleaners, which you can find in most golf stores. These work the same way as wax but will come with a polish to make them shine more brightly. 

Regardless of what method you choose for shining your clubs, be sure not to use any abrasive materials or chemicals on the metal surfaces [3]–like steel wool or silver polish. These can damage the metal and lead to rusting, which is something you want to avoid as much as possible.
