My personal deep cleaning favorite is Track's Clean and Dull. I use it about once a month on regularly used balls. For daily or after league clean-up, any number of bowling-specific cleaners will do fine, as well as a few household degreasers, liek 409, Simple Green, and Orange/cirus-based cleaners. Household degreasers mixed with household (91%, the stronger version) isopropyl alcohol will do a good job.

Isopropyl alcohol IS rubbing alcohol.
By itself it is good for cleaning wounds .... not bowling balls.
Mix it with the degreaser to help float away the grease and oil that the degreaser actually cleans.

I have all my stuff treated with Doc's elixir. but on pearl or anything with a shine on it I get pin and belt markes that are stubborn as all get out. Oil's not a problem, but what will eat everything?
