Ball Cleaning/Chemicals
« on: July 22, 2015, 09:22:01 AM »
I have always cleaned my bowling balls with rubbing alcohol as I was told that was the best way to clean them. I was told by a proshop employee that it will harm the coverstocks of today's equipment. He told me to use a mixture of 1/3 alcohol, 1/3 degreaser, and 1/3 water. Any thoughts on this?

Simple Green Max and Simple Green Pro HD both have this warning.

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer (trace Diethanolamine).

California requires that on almost everything though. I'm beginning to think that it's California that causes cancer and they are trying to deflect the blame.  ;D



I agree.  I think we are to the point where everyone puts it on everything just to cover their ass. So now in reality it doesn't mean much of anything.

Where did you see that? I don't see it on the MSDS or SDS.

They are both listed as hazardous on the MSDS though.

"This product is considered hazardous (Eye Corrosive/Irritant – Category 2B) by the 2012 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200)"

No, of course not. It's just the air we breathe and the water we drink and the food that we eat that are poisonous.

Try TacUp. I've used clean and dull before but I like the TacUp better. That's the only thing our pro shop sells and everyone seems to like it.
