Bowling/Cleaning

Question
What is the best way & how often should I clean my ball? Do I have to buy a special cleaner or can I use something basic? I have a Jolt (Solid Reactive) Ball. Thanks for your help!

Answer
The commercial products made by each company is designed to work best on their respective coverstocks.  I would not use anything with alcohol or amonia in it, but things like simple green can be used.  Make sure that when you purchase a cleaner, read what it will do as some cleaners can polish or dull the ball.

Good luck,
Chip
