Golf club cleaning tools?

Question

Long story short:

Do products like this [ http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/19denclubtubkit.html ] really work as well as they claim?

Long story long:

I'm getting close to buying some new irons, and will want to keep them in the best shape I can. At the same time, I'll be giving my current set of irons to my brother, and want to give them to him as clean as I can. Since I haven't really paid attention to the cleanliness of my clubs (ever), my current set could use a thorough cleaning. $50 isn't bad if I can whip my current clubs into good condition and use this system to keep my new irons sparkling, but I don't want to waste time/money on something I don't need or that won't work.

Answer 1

you could clean your clubs just as easily with only a brush and some soapy water in a bucket. it may be a little more elbow work but you'll go into it saving $40. im sure this product works great, but i wouldnt think it necessary. there are many cleaning agents that are perfectly safe for metal.

bottom line : its up to you. less work/more money or less money/more work

Answer 2

Though this product works as well as anything, i think it still is not worth your money. Spending 50 dollars on that doesn't seem worth it to me because you can give your club a good thorough cleaning with a wet towel, toothbrush, and 5 minutes. Think hard before spending money on something that isn't worth it.

No need for any fancy tools, cleaning products, cleansers, scouring powders,  or fancy detergents to clean clubs. Since you haven't mentioned whether your present set is rusty, pitted,  or just plain dirty with the chrome plate in good condition we will assume that the clubs are cruddy.Put the heads in plain water and let them soak for a few minutes.Take the woods, wet an end of a Turkish towel , rub the face briskly removing all the dirt and dry off. Should clean up very well. For the irons, soak, scrub with the wet end of the Turkish Towel and use a sharp pointed wooden tee to get all the crud out of the grooves, wipe with the wet towel and dry. If you have steel shafts which are showing rust spots, Soak one end of a towel with Coca Cola rub the shafts briskly to remove the rust, wipe off with wet towel, then dry towel, put 3 in 1 oil ( light machine oil ) on rag and rub on shafts. Your old set will look so good that you won't want to give them up.

Pretend that it is more like a dirty dish than the mainframe computer that Wells Fargo would use. Run it under some water and scrub of the food scraps with a sponge.

$50!?!? Don't forget the big rubber iron covers. Also, remember to double up the head covers on the woods. And don't dry off your clubs with any old rag. It needs to be velvet or cashmere, or better yet silk. Don't let them get too cold and don't swing them too hard.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

All you need is a toothbrush, soap, and a towel.  Maybe something a little more ridgid to get the dirt out of the grooves.  No reason to drop 50 bucks.  Use the money you save toward some new grips for your brother.  The old ones probably need replaced.
