Re: Cleaning cork handles

I like the dirty handles. They feel better and STICK better in my hand. The new ones don't have that stickiness.

Re: Cleaning cork handles

Baby wipes work good also I wipe the whole rod down after each use.

As long as you don't start going on about pink skirts, you'll be OK.

Re: Cleaning cork handles

I use hair shampoo, wet the cork rub in the shampoo with your hands and rinse, makes the cork soft and conditioned and looks like new.

Re: Cleaning cork handles

Im crazy, but i enjoy leaving the plastic wrap on as long as possible, 1-3 years is good ! When cleaning i use soap, hot water, and a teflon scratchy pad, or any kind of pot scrubber

Re: Cleaning cork handles

smirkplug, keep an eye on the cork if you leave the plastic on. Moisture will get in there and start to discolor and rot the cork.

Re: Cleaning cork handles

Looks like there are plenty of different ways to "clean" cork handles but for me
it`s always been..... Brillo or Ajax pads. Been using them for years and the end results is the cork always cleans up great. I don`t care how dirty.
I just scrub them down and rinse with water. Sometimes it does take a couple of tries but it`s the end result I`m after......clean.
Like they say, there`s more than one way to skin a cat. No offense to cat owners
intended.
