rags and shoes

[wes909]

ok wasnt sure where to put this but i just got this stuff stuck to my bowling ball rag its like a bath tub cleaning pad. and it left little fibers all over the rag . i pulled most of it off but cant get the rest so should i wash this thing or what. what the best way to clean it? also i noticed that the pads on my bowling shoes are not letting me slide what can i do to get them sliding better ? i have replacement pads but these look like their still good so i don't want to waste them

Slide pads can be cleaned up with a shoe brush, they are cheap and last forever. Well worth the ten bucks or whatever you will pay for them. As for the bowling towel, I recommend either using a microfiber towel (best) or buy a loomed towel at your local pro shop. I have a Storm logo towel that I have put through the wash atleast 15 times over the last 5 years I have had it and it still is in great shape. If you need to clean the ball off, they make cleaners for all kinds of balls. It depends on the surface of the ball for specific cleaners, but if you buy a general ball cleaner like Storm Xtra clean, it will clean it off well. It will work to get the oil off and the random crap the ball picks up from the lane and the ball returns. Hope this helps!

When you wash your micro fiber towel, do not put it in the dryer. Let it air dry. The machine will ruin the fibers
