How to Clean Ping Irons

By William McCoy

If you've spent a considerable amount of money investing in a set of Ping irons to play golf, you likely want to ensure that you keep the clubs in the best shape possible. Cleaning golf clubs offers more than aesthetic benefits; when the clubfaces are clean, they make better contact with the ball. Clean your irons at minimum once a season, but if you play frequently, consider monthly cleanings.

Step 1

Fill a bucket with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. If you don't have a bucket handy, put the stopper in the sink and fill it with warm, soapy water.

Step 2

Stand a club in the bucket, clubhead first, and dip a rag in the soapy water. Slide the rag up and down the club's shaft to remove dirt and other matter from the shaft.

Step 3

Allow the head of the club to soak for several minutes in the water, and then use a brush to vigorously scrub the face. Select a brush designed for cleaning golf clubs to ensure the bristles will not scratch the club. Scrub along the grooves in the clubface to remove packed-in dirt.

Step 4

Wipe the entire club dry with a towel or microfiber cloth. The shafts should sparkle and the clubface should appear clean. Repeat the cleaning process for each of your Ping irons.
