I am no chemist to know all those right liquids to use...

As for me I just use plain old water when cleaning my clubs. Soft towel and nylon brush to avoid scratching. And those nice steel bristle brush for the grooves to get out the deep dirts.

Thanks for your input  :)

I read somewhere that dish soap helps with the cleaning and is not bad for clubs so I always use that when cleaning my irons.  I pour warm (slightly warm, but not scalding hot) water in a bucket and add a bit of dish soap then let my clubs sit for about 15 min.  I then scrub with a toothbrush and they look good as new afterward.  Hope this helps.

i typically use water and soft cloth as previously mentioned, but if needed i will add dishwasher soap.  not sure if it's the best or not, but it will help take out the heavy stuff.

Best thing I found is a bucket of warm water and a soft nylon brush. It will clean the grooves and remove the dirt and grass. Use a soft towel to dry them so that over time rust will not build up on any of the clubs.

I don't know if it was Titleist, but somewhere I read that you only want to use soap/mild abrasive with a cloth.  Soaking up as far as the hosel may allow dampness to get into the epoxy.  Or maybe it was my pro shop after I brought in a shaft and an 8 iron head for reattachment.   .....I used to soak the heads for 5-10 minutes when I would put all in a bucket and take each out to scrub and set aside.

 If you have one piece cavity or muscle back irons like CB's or MB's, you can put the head into water up to the ferrule (not above).If you have a multi piece head such as AP1's or AP2's, you don't want to submerged it into water as the water may seep into the head. 

A damp cloth with mild soap and water should be just fine for wiping down the head and using a toothbrush to clean the grooves works well.  Just make sure the head and grooved are dried thoroughly.

I never knew that Cathi, but it makes perfect sense.  Thank you very much for posting.

To Cathi and TT, thanks for the advise.  Hope to take care of my AP2 712's for a long time, they are really sweet clubs.
