How do you clean a tennis raquet handle with swet stains on it?

Question

white tennis raquet handle

Answer 1

get a new.. black.. grip:). Thats what i did. It'll only cost you 5 bucks

Answer 2

You don't.

You buy an overgrip and change that each time it becomes dirty.

Answer 3

Overgrips are the cheapest "modifications" to a racquet for players at any level.  It's better to spend a few bucks on grips than to lose a racquet if it slips during a serve, etc.

What about trying other colours like grey or black if you're worried about the grips looking shabby because of dirt stains?

Answer 4

Overgrips are the solution.  White is a tough colour.  Tourna Grips are all I have ever used.  They come in blue.  I have played competitive tennis since 1986 (HighSchool JV and V, college, USTA).  I always use an undergrip with terry cloth in it to help wick away the sweat and go through overgrips three times in a summer on all my racquets (5).  I use less in winter of course.  If the look of white is what you want then it is going to be impossible to keep clean.  Tennis balls bouncing around the court into then into your hand are bound to make your grips dirty.  Roger Federer doesnt pay for his equipment, but I have to.  Clean white is impossible to maintain even in my club shirts, forget about the grips.  Your white grips may still have enough tack, but if they are dirty and you dont want to use them why bother cleaning them unnecessarily and often.  Its isnt a fashion show.  If you used black overgrips you might get more mileage and wouldn't ever notice they were nasty.

Answer 5

If it really bothers you just buy a new permanent grip. They come in white. It will be impossible to keep a white grip clean though. Try black. Pesonally I would get an overgrip and replace it every few weeks. I don't think cleaning it will help.

Answer 6

I'm not sure a tennis racket merits cleaning, but try warm a warm vinegar and water solution.  Try to get the solution to approximately 25% vinegar by mass.  

Just make sure the solution is not too hot; it only needs to be lukewarm or so.  

If this doesn't work, sorry, I'm not sure of what else you could try.
