    To clean off dusts, I use the following method: 1) Apply liquid soap onto one side of cotton stick 2) Apply the soap onto the grip 3) When done, use the other side of the cotton stick and just rub off the soap Works with cleaning the grip? I dont know but you could try I guess.. PrinceXD

    Has anyone ever tried bleaching their grips? namely dr grip grips? i think that may help remove yellowing for those....for sailors, i guess just soap and water/ i've tried LOTS of things to wash my grips before...trust me XD

    @XiX it's just how I remove dust off "sticky" grips like Dr.Grips and Airfits totally unrelated to yellowed grips.. unless someone confirms that it works =P IIRC, there was a discussion back in v3 saying that if u put yellowed grip in hot soapy water overnight it will go back white.. but its temporary as it goes back yellow very soon.. never tried it.. maybe someone confirm this too? =P PrinceXD

    thats y I use airfit grips, harder to turn yellow and is heavier giving more momentum

    Putting your Dr.grip or airfit grips into bleach for a day or two can clean them greatly.

    Usually I just apply some soap to my hands and then put the grips in my hands and just rub the soap all over the grips and squish them while running them under cold water. I do this until they look clean. This is just if they have like ink marks or things like that on them. But if the color is fading, then I don't know what to do there.

    Water is the only thing you really need, with soap every once in a while.

    @MickChickenn you seriously need to stop reviving threads unnecessarily you basically repeated what everyone already said. this isnt much of a huge bump, but youve done it A LOT. it gets kinda annoying

    I usually just take a piece of tape and wrap it around the grip. Take it off and all the dust and particles come off the grips.

    The best way I found was clorox wipes. It's not a quick process but it works very well.

    To clean all grips, Including yellowed ones.. Get a bowl full of water.. Get household borax, and put 2 tablespoon of it into the water. Then add one tablespoon of bleach. It works for everything. Let it sit overnight with the grip(s) in it.

    Just stick them in your pocket so when you have your laundry done, they clean themselves. :D ~KTSpinner~
