    No the name is misleading, it doesn't "dull" a ball.

    Would it be best (or is it necessary) to have a see saw, even if I already use a micro fiber towel and an approved cleaner?

    I'd say that's kind of personal preference. I think just a towel is fine, you can get a little more pressure on the ball with it.

    But I've seen guys with seesaws, spray the ball then seesaw it. You can put a microfiber towel in the seesaw and do it. They also have seesaws with microfiber linings.

    Make use of both

    Energizer is a spray and better suited for use at the alley, Clean'N Dull is a Gel and better used at home.

    Clean'N Dull is the strongest of the two and Most use it as a once a week deep cleaner.

    I use Tac-Up spray cleaner at the lanes and Clean'N Dull at home to help draw out the oil.

    NO. energizer is just a simple citrus cleaner, it wouldn't melt plastic.

    Thanks bowl1820 on the answer to my question regarding the use of a see saw; definitely appreciated! I was wondering if a person uses cleaner in a see saw, is there any reaction to the inserts from the cleaner? Thanks for answering all my newbie questions; I just want to make sure that I take the best care of my equipment.

    I wrote to both Hammer and Ebonite, I know Ebonite owns Hammer, and got two replies from different staff members saying I should use the hottest water I could out of the tap. In the first post of this thread it says to use "warm water". I don't pretend to know which is right but thought I'd mention it.
