I clean mine every time I use them. But I use a mixture of Simple Green and Rubbing Alcohol. Much cheaper and works amazing. I do use the simular type of sponge but it is less abrasive. It does not affect the coverstock like the Mr. Clean does. A buddy of mine used one and it bleached his ball coverstock. It also helps to have a ball spinner. I recommend getting one if you have more than two balls. I have a dozen balls I use during practice, leagues, and competitions.
Every 60 games or so...Oven at 200f for 5 mins. Wipe oil. 5 more mins. Wipe. 5 more mins. Wash in Dawn/hot water. Rinse. Ready to rock the house. Been doing it 30 years and no issues on any type coverstock.
It's equivalent to somewhere between 3000 to 5000 grit. I don't see an issue, especially if you lubricate and don't scrub down really hard. As you can see in the video, I just glide the melamine sponge across the surface.
@@ConradCastelo reminds me of fabroloso. I tried it make tonsee the difference. I used water fab and a tiny bit of alcohol then I put a dab of dawn soap in there on another sample. Not sure if it's close or not.
Should be ok. It's on the list of approved ball cleaners. The liquid is really for lubrication so plain water would work, but using a ball cleaner would help clean the ball.
Pretty cool. Never thought of using a magic eraser. That Purple Stuff is disgusting. Horrible smell so I don't recommend it. Will stink up the whole house and give you headaches. I use 91% isopropyl and that is really all you need.
Your killing your balls coverstock. Magic erasers have chemicals built in that don't gel with resin coverstocks. The purple stuff is the only thing in this video that works and doesn't damage them ball.
@Jamal Mac I know. I'm on staff. Mr clean Magic eraser brand comes with chemicals already in the eraser. Chemicals that are not safe for bowling balls. The CTD scuff mark remover is just a eraser. Nothing is in it until you spray a CTD cleaner of your choice on it before using it.
@@300x2869 That's actually not true at all. Original non scented magic erasers (even mr clean brand) do not have any chemicals.... its quite literally just a very fine sandpaper like melnamine foam. (exactly the same thing as the CTD scuff mark remover) If you are indeed on the CTD staff you should probably be a little careful bending the truth to people trying to get them to buy your product.
@@300x2869 I trust Ron knows a lot about HIS own products, and I've seen things he posted where you aren't supposed to use the purple stuff with melamine because it breaks them down also. But that said, what you posted about magic erasers having chemicals is incorrect, they do not.

I have that ball, it gets dirty quick. Reacta Stuff works great on sanded balls. And I use Reacta clean on pearls and spare ball.

Thanks for sharing.
I use water dawn soap and a tad bit of alcohol. I tried the magic eraser off-brand and name-brand i feel they almost a mild sandimg pad.
I just use pure rubbing alcohol before and after my league night. Is that enough? But once i start to get that shine i may need this technique
I use a cleaner w/toothbrush to clean stenciling (logo) on my bowling balls
Nice. I use a spare detailing brush. A toothbrush is a great idea!
THE MISTER CLEAN THIN SHEETS WORK JUST AS WELL AND ARE MORE ECONOMICAL.
Great! That's nice to know. Thanks.
Doesn't this change the ball surface though, as the magic eraser is essential sandpaper?

What is the purple stuff
That Purple Stuff is a ball cleaner by Creating the Difference. Link to Amazon: amzn.to/44E0tMP

so a homemade cleaner would work as well?
Yes. The cleaner would remove the oil and the melamine sponge will remove the marks. A 2 in 1 combo.
Does windex works?

Don't use the magic eraser... magic eraser is abrasive and has chemicals in it.... use the ctd scuff remover pad.
Magic eraser is just an extremely fine sanding pad. There is no chemicals in them as we use them in car detailing all the time.
There are no chemicals in Mr. Clean pads. They are just melamine foam.
