Ball Cleaner?

[got_a_300]

how do I mix the simple green and alcahol in a bottle bucket or what?

-Sara

The way I mix it up is I have 2 Isoproply alcohol bottles that I poor
half of a new bottle of alcohol into one and then poor the Simple
Green into one of them and mix it up.

Then I poor it into a Brunswick cleaner bottle that I keep in my bowling
ball bag to use at the lanes.

I just bring the Brunswick bottle home and refill it when it gets low
and then take it back on my next trip to the lanes.

You have it on a spinner? I am wondering if the law's of physics come into play! Would the oil be more prone to move outward, toward the surface of the ball, when cleaner is sprayed on while its spinning?
When I use the ball cleaner, I first put the ball in the saddle of the spinner, spray cleaner on the ball and move it around on the ball, then turn the spinner on and while holding a clean, (no fabric softener cotton towel), I then spray more cleaner on while spinning and move the cotton towel up and down the ball. It never ceases to amaze me how much oil/dirt/grime come off the ball!

I do this 4 different placements in the spinner!

Does a spinner mixed with cleaning formula, and centrifugal force, cause more oil to come to the surface?

I have spoken with a number of different bowlers and the general consensus is that most products are equally effective. I use simple denatured alcohol. I got a small can from the harware store and ust a couple of oz in a small bottle in by bowling bag pocket. Its cheap and USBC approved.

Do I need a have to have a spinner to clean my ball or is that just an Accessory if you want to use one it helps with getting the oil off the ball cause those things are expensive if I have to I might wait till I get paid and save my 100 bucks I got back from bowling and take 100 from my paycheck and get a spinner but wouldn't it just be easier for me to have the bowling alley do it the pro shop I mean?

You don't need a spinner. I clean my bowling ball with alcohol and a towel. I see a number of bowlers who clean their equipment each night before putting it back in their bags. They certainly don't bring a ball spinner with them!

Thats what I thought thanks but does the spinner help for deep cleaning or best to deep clean in the soap and water in a bucket with tape over the holes? what does a spinner do anyway?

A spinner makes it easier to sand or polish a ball
