Pchee....where are you on this one? Do I hear a bird flying over Walmart? Listen.........CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP....yeppers.
Hmmm, spend $100 to $250 for a ball, drop $20-$50 for league bowling, beer, etc,.
Use 409 instead of $9.00 ball cleaner....PRICELESS

I will chime in and say that 409 is a good "EVERYDAY" cleaner to get the surface dirt and oil off of the ball. However, you should invest in a bottle of good ball cleaner to use about once a week to get a deep clean in the ball. Especially if you dont wanna spend the $9.00 on a regular basis. I use 409 to get the surface dirt and then I use Ultimate Black Magic Particle Rejuvenator which only costs me $5.00 so its worth the investment.

Instead of using 409 just use some industrial strength cleaner.  It works the same.

409... works just fine!

It won't hurt the ball, not at all!

Sorry, too much caffeine this morning.

I agree, I use 409 after every set.  It is over half the price of a manufactures cleaner and works better in my opinion.  I used tracks clean and dull once, I hated the way it changed the reaction of my ball.

I swear I can remember a time when 409 was not an acceptable ball cleaner, but I don't see it on this list.  I guess I'm just OLD!

i use the 409 orange on all of my stuff. does a great job, and it's very cheap!!! You can even dilute it with water to make it last longer.
