Clean Golf Balls?

We all know there is truth that clean golf balls fly truer, faster, and further. That’s why you find ball cleaners beside the tees at any good golf courses. In truth, unless you’re truly fussy – the cleaning method a ball gets in one of these golf course scrubbing stations is probably all you will need. Other cleaning products and gadgets work well too.
Cleaning Very Dirty Golf Balls

If this doesn’t get the grime off (balls that have been in water and are partially covered with mold or algae can be tough), here are a few more suggestions aside from detergent and elbow grease for the more difficult ones:

* Soak them briefly in a product containing oxalic acid.
* Apply some undiluted bleach, ammonia, OR white vinegar (however DON’T mix ANY of these chemicals together for safety as poisonous gas can be produced).
* A real “man’s” way if you have lots to clean at once is putting  them in a concrete mixer along with crushed peanut or almond shells and let them spin around for a while. A little unconventional.
* Place them in a container with water and put in a couple of denture cleaning tablets. An oldie but a goodie!

If you want to get ink marks off of them, use nail polish remover. Works a treat!

Newer golf balls can be put in the dishwasher or washing machine, (depending of the type of washing machine you have) They shouldn’t damage the machinery. Only already damaged balls won’t be able to stand up to this. If you golf balls are really past it, you may have to buy some more cheap golf balls.
