    What do you use?

    I have used a bucket with dish soap to let them soak, and then a light nylon brush... but what about those persistent tee marks on the driver?

    Anyone have experience using the Mr Clean Magic Eraser? Does it work?

    I use the magic eraser - works for getting ball marks off the face and tee marks off the sole!

    I have used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and it worked really well. It does not damage the finish as far as I know...

    Yes, I have used the Magic Eraser with dish soap and love the results since it does not leave scratch marks.

    Not a good idea to let your clubs sit in a bucket of water. Many clubs are manufactured where water can get inside the cavity, and it happens a lot more than most people think. Just dip the cleaning brush in the soapy water and scrub it. For stubborn marks you can spray a little windex or WD-40 on it before scrubbing.
    As for tee marks - those are battle scars, kind of like the scratches on your favorite hunting truck.
    But if you really want to remove them there are several ways to do it. Any non-abrasive cleaning solution or even just a pencil eraser. If that doesn't work you can use a mild car rubbing compound/cleaner.
    FYI, my wife told me once to try rubbing a little peanut butter on the marks, and damned if it didn't work!!! But the dog wouldn't stop licking my driver afterword.

    I use a nice good quality caddy towel and water. They are rather thick. I use the Mr Clean Magic Eraser to clean my FJ shoes. Takes the marks off the white shoes rather easily. I just do not use the white wooden tees for my driver. If you are catching your ball solid and cleanly off the tee, you should not have much of a mark on your driver.

    Yep, I just have one tiny white tee mark in the lower center where each tee hits on the same spot. :) Thanks for the reminder of the Magic Eraser on the shoe scuff marks, I will give it a try.

    A gentleman who has been cleaning shoes for many years at the TPC at Murrells Inlet told me about that trick with the Magic Eraser. He uses that and saddle soap to clean shoes. Once you try it, the results will amaze you. =) When you swing up and thru the ball that happens. ;=)

    A good thing to use to get rid of marks on the driver is toothpaste....

    Toothpaste can be abrasive. Before you use toothpaste. consider doing this. An easy way to test toothpastes abrasiveness at home is with a little DIY. Using a piece of tin foil (shiny side up), rub your toothpaste with the tip of your finger using light pressure. Rinse the toothpaste off the foil under running water and see if any scratches remain on the surface of the foil.

    Warm soapy water, plastic bristle brush and yes - magic sponges absolutely. Not only do they remove the tee marks, they are awesome for removing the oxidization layer from my RAW wedges every now and again.

    Ron, I let my irons soak in lukewarm water and about a quarter sized drop of dish soap for about 25-30 minutes. After, hit them with a brush and groove sharpener. I only sharpen the grooves once a year usually at the beginning of every season (I live in New England). For your concern of the tee marks on the driver, I’ve had luck with the magic eraser in the past. Works like a charm. Hope this helps

    I am similar, but don't soak my clubs. I gip them in a bucket of dish soaped water and use a toothbrush to clean them. For tee marks, I use a Mr. clean and/or Goo Off, what every I have around.

    Just for the people who say they're using a dish soap, it's not good long term, it's too harsh.
    You're better off using a car wash, it's much more gentle and doesn't eat at the steel or any kind of finish you have on your clubs.

    I use a magic eraser too, a gentle soap and a groove brush. I wipe with a microfibre towel only.

    When I use to play/practice very frequently, Formula 409 and an old toothbrush use to work great on iron grooves.

    McGuire makes a cleaner
    Wax that will help with marks on top and bottom, lightly. Remember not to ever the wax other face.

    A bucket of warm water and a brush. Let the irons soak in the bucket for a few minutes and then brush the face. The dirt will come out of the grooves easily. No soap, just plain water.

    I use a wet towel and some elbow grease. I, always, clean the grips first, then, I wipe down the club heads. Putter, woods, hybrids, irons, and, wedges last.

    All I need is a small bowl of soapy water (I use Dove dishwashing soap) a small sponge with the green rough side for the grips and the standard brush with wire bristles on one side for the iron grooves and softer plastic bristles for the grooves on the woods. Some music or a podcast in the background and a beer and I am good to go.
