Plastic bucket (1 will do) Dishwashing detergent (should not be so harsh) Toothbrush, or some other brush with plastic bristles.

A towel for the drying process.

Trust me, that’s it! You can cut one bucket from the list if you’re willing to do it in your kitchen or bathroom sink. But we recommend using a bucket for the washing and another to store the already done ones especially if the iron heads have grimy dirt. You wouldn’t want to send the dirt through your inner plumbing.

Step-2: Foaming it Up Pour some of the dishwashing detergents into the bucket, and add some warm water followed by. It’ll create suds.

The water should be lukewarm rather than boiling. It’s because most of the irons come with plastic ferrules on the joint of the shaft and the clubhead. The glued ferrules can easily come off coming in contact with boiling hot water.

You don’t need water more than the amount necessary to cover the iron heads.

Set the bucket and place the irons into it. Submerge your clubheads in. Make sure the ferrules of the clubs are above the waterline.

Rest the irons in the lukewarm water and soak them well. You don’t have to wait more than two minutes. This way, the dirt of the clubface loosens out form the grooves. The suds should begin working on the potential oil and chemicals that might have built up during a playing session.

Step-4: Cleaning Out the Grooves After you’ve waited a couple of minutes to soak them well, go for each club in turns, and using the old toothbrush/brush with plastic bristles, clean the grooves out on the clubface.

This step holds the prime importance of the whole process. You must remove all the dirt and scraps from the groove. The caked-on scraps and dirt- lled grooves won’t produce the intended performance. They cause losing grip on the golf ball, making it do fun stuff.

Move on to dragging the brush across the iron sole and the backside of the clubhead followed by. Remove the grass, dirt, and other grimy stuff.

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, the process becomes much easier. Sometimes the dirt is allowed to build up without any cleaning only to harden over time. If this is your case, you might have to lengthen the soaking time and use a hard-bristled brush instead. We discourage using a wire-bristled brush when cleaning the clubs, for it may cause permanent scratches on the club surfaces.

Step-5: Rinsing off the Clubheads Now, using the garden hose (for outdoors) or the tap (for indoors) rinse off the clubheads. After you’ve washed away the suds, have another look if there are any remains of the dirt. Make sure you’ve removed them all from the grooves. And you must be extra careful to avoid splashing water up the shafts.
