Cleaning suggestions

[bowl1820]

Looking to clean my ball and with all the product on the market, im lost. Should I just stick to warm water and dish detergent with maybe a lil alcohol rubbed on afterwards or look into some other products? Whats the difference between Tracks Clean N Sheen and Clean N Dull? Would either of them be prefered? Im just looking for something to clean my bowling balls with after a few games...my ball is brand new also lol

To the OP.
1st- the hot water and dawn method is a home diy oil extraction method. Its not meant to be a everyday cleaning option. Some do it about every 30-60 games just depends on how much you ball.

2nd- track clean'n sheen is now under the ebonite powerhouse label. It's a cleaner polish (more polish than cleaner though), not really for everyday use.

3rd- clean'n dull is a excellent penetrating deep cleaner, but not really suited for use at the lanes, plus you don't really need to use it everyday. I use it once a week or so depending on how much I bowl.

For what you can use at the lanes like after a set. Most any of the ball cleaners are better than nothing.

Some good ones though are Tac-Up (Im using it at the moment), Hook-it is a great penetrating cleaner (better than tac-up), Reacta Clean is good and I hear some of the Lane masters stuff is good.

Some better than nothings are powerhouse energizer cleaner, power wash.

Other products rubbing alcohol works (though you see theres a controversy about it), a diy is a mix of simple green+alcohol+water in equal amounts ( a variation is a 50/50 mix of simple green and alcohol)

One thing get a micro fiber towels! They work good taking stuff off the ball.

Are the wipes mentioned earlier the same kind of thing as a hot water bath? So I'd use it every so often as a deep cleaning?

The only wipes I see mentioned above are alcohol pads, no they are not the same as a hot water bath. So not for deep cleaning.

Now there are Powerhouse Adrenaline Ball Steroid Wipes, That are supposed to be a penetrating cleaner to remove more oil from the surface. But I haven't tried them so cant say how well they work.
