    Try clothes wash vanish powder and warm water. Short bristle scrubbing brush. I have around 1200 recovered lake balls, they get steeped in warm water with bleach then Vanish is added. Leave over night. Spotless after a scrub. You can see the Vanish fizzing around the black algae.

    I use Hypochlorite. First I soak the batch of balls in very hot water for an hour or 2 agitating every now and again. Then I use a 50/50 mix of Hypo and water and soak the batch for another 2 hours agitating a couple of times. Then I put them in water to rinse off and then rub dry with a towel. They come up amazing. No scrubbing involved whatsoever

    I have cleaned 1000's of golf balls using an oxi clean product called Formil Oxi Action (Buy from Lidl.) and you mix 1 or 2 scoops of it in warm/hot water and leave the golf balls in it for 30-60 minutes. And rather than using a dry or wet cloth to wipe away the dirt/stains, I use a 'magic' sponge which can really shift off the most stubborn dirt.
    And after all that if there are any 'rare' stubborn stains I put some Baking Soda on a cloth, wet the baking soda so it's like a toothpaste and then use that to scrub off the stubborn stain.

    Use soap and brush. Let them soak for a few. Then, use nail polish remover. You’re welcome. It will look brand new and even bring back the “sticky” feel when u take it out of the box. Make a video of it and try it out. All I want is credit. It will take off most of the sharpie marks from previous owners

    Washing up liquid has salts added that act as abrasives. This may be why it was more effective during the tooth brush scrub. It's also why you should never use Fairy on your car. May be kind to hands but it'll f**k up your paintwork!

    Why would you use balls that sat in a lake or creek for any length of time? Water permeates the cover and their performance is reduced. Why not just clean your golf balls with a towel while you’re on the links?

      @@upclosegolf fair point! I am a high handicapper and until about a year ago, most of my golf balls came from creeks and ponds. Then I read an article that said golf balls absorb water and their performance changed. Who knew! So I still fish out balls from the water but I leave them on the shore. Sorry for overthinking your video!

      @@stevetilk4926ha ha! No probs. To be honest you probably do lose some performance with lake balls, bit like buying a used car - you never know how the previous owner treated it!
