Simple Spot Cleaning

I realize that I probably get more carried away than most when it comes to cleaning racquets before stringing, but I’m always looking for ways to make cleaning quicker and easier.

My latest discovery is that recycled stencil ink bottles make really good containers for cleaning solution. I take an empty ink bottle, clean it out with Goof Off, fill it with fresh Goof Off, and then put on a new applicator tip. This gives me a quick and easy way to clean up racquets, as the Goof Off is always handy in the stencil bottle, and the felt tip works great for light scrubbing.

Editor’s note: This does indeed sound handy. Those who don’t have an old bottle of stencil ink, or who don’t want to clean out an old bottle, can buy new bottles from Guterman International (603 Pleasant Street, Paxton, MA, 01612. Phone: 508-852-8206). Also, keep in mind that the applicator tips can become dirty pretty quickly, so you’ll want to have plenty of replacement applicator tips on hand.
