How to Properly Clean Your Golf Clubs

Fill a bucket with warm water and a little mild dish soap. Avoid hot water, which can loosen ferrules over time.

Soak iron heads only, not the whole club, for a few minutes. Keep woods and hybrids out of the water and wipe them instead.

Use a soft-bristle brush to clean grooves. Skip wire brushes on most finishes, which can scratch.

Wipe shafts with a damp cloth and dry everything thoroughly before returning clubs to the bag.

Clean grips with a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse and let them air dry.
