Club cleaning

[louise_a]

I am sat here cleaning my irons, I have one of those little tools that has a fibre brush and a wire brush on. I used the fibre brush but it doesn't get in the grooves, I dare say the wire one will but I worry about it scratching the club face.

What do others use to clean the grooves, is the wire brush safe to use?

Ordinary nail brush...

 

[Norrin Radd]

tooth brush works well ,

Soak em for 10 minutes in warm soapy water then the nail brush as Imurg has suggested.

Just dot let the water soak above the joint at the hosel

I use the wire brush. The heads get far worse/abrasive treatment pretty much every time they go through the soil.

Wire brush works for me

I use a brush that we use to clean the alloys on the car. Soft-ish brush but has enough about it to get the dirt out the grooves.

Your supposed to clean your clubs, seriously 😳 I'll let the wife know she's got another duty 😜

I use the wire brush all the time usually use one on the course before any shot as well.

I use one of those brushes people wash the pots with. Or rinse them with before they wash them. Just like a pretty stiff plastic bristle brush. Soak them for 5 then a quick going over and a dry off job done. But I do also have one of those fibre/wire brushes and use them on wedges when cleaning them or if they are looking clogged up on the course

Pretty much every shot here to. Especially wedges.

Fine wire brush is perfectly safe to use, as has been said already the club heads get a far worse pasting every time you take a divot or a bunker shot !...:thup:

I'll have to ask the wife what she uses. Thinks it's and old nail brush from the bathroom and a toothbrush

Those wire brushes are brass I think, (or something similar) just like the brushes I used to use on my suede desert boots many years ago. Brass is softer than the steel/casting of the club, so will not scratch of damage the face or grooves at all.
For the record, I clean my club face after each shot with a towel and every now and then at home with a bucket of warm water and a nail brush.
