How Do I Clean My Persimmon Golf Clubs?
There are three simple steps you need to follow to keep your persimmon clubs clean and looking great. First, use a scrub brush to clean the exterior of the club. After you’ve cleaned the exterior, it’s time to wipe it down. Use a clean, dry towel to remove any remaining debris. The final step is to put a coat of wax on the surface to seal in all the goodness that was just cleaned off. Let’s take a look at each step in detail.
Step One: Scrub Brush Cleaning
The first step in keeping your persimmon clubs clean is to use a brush to clean the exterior surface. It doesn’t matter which type of brush you choose-you’ll be using it with soap later anyway-but make sure it’s large enough to fit inside your golf club. When you’re ready to clean your clubs, simply brush them with soap and water and then dry them off. Let’s look at how effective this step can be. Remember: the exterior of your golf clubs will always be the most exposed to dust, dirt, and grime. By cleaning it with soap and water, you’ll remove all these unwanted elements and make your club look brand new again. It’s important to note here that once you’ve cleaned the exterior of your golf clubs with soap and water, you must never, ever use alcohol or detergents of any kind to clean it again. If you do, it’ll cause your clubs to deteriorate quickly.
Step Two: Dry Wiping
After you’ve cleaned the exterior of your golf clubs with soap and water, it’s time to wipe it down. Begin by gently wiping dry with a towel to remove any excess water. Next, rub the surface of your clubs with a steel wool pad to remove any remaining soap. When you’re finished, wipe the surface of your clubs down again with a towel to make it completely dry. Remember: the final step in keeping your persimmon clubs clean is to use a dry towel to wipe down the surface. After you’ve cleaned the exterior of your golf clubs, it’s important to let them air dry before putting a coat of wax on the surface.
Step Three: Coating With Wax
After you’ve cleaned the exterior of your golf clubs with soap and water and wiped it down with a dry towel, it’s time to coat it with wax. Take a small amount of wax on a fingertip and rub it on the surface of your clubs. While you can use any type of wax, we recommend using carnauba wax because it has a high melting point so it’ll remain solid at room temperature. When you’re finished applying the wax, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wipe away any excess wax. This final step is important because it adds a protective coating which seals in all the goodness that was just cleaned off. Don’t worry, this step is absolutely necessary and can’t be skipped; otherwise, all the previous steps would be useless because dirt, oil, and water will continue to bond with the wood. Once this step is done, everything will be cleaned and preserved as it was before you started using the process. Follow these instructions, and your golf clubs will look as good as new again.
Keeping your persimmon golf clubs clean isn’t hard, but it does require some attention to detail. Always follow the instructions above, and you’ll prevent all the damage that can occur from using these amazing clubs. Remember: it’s a long journey from the golf course to the garage, so take care of your equipment and it’ll take care of you.
