If exposed to moisture, dry immediately. Do not use an abrasive cleaner that will scratch the finish. Use only a clean towel dampened with cool water when cleaning hand grips. Confirm that the hand grips are dry before using. NEVER use ammonia-based cleaning solutions or soap on hand grips, which may cause them to loosen or crack.
