After every outing. When I get home I put them on the spinner with CND.

After every set, my special cleaner I developed, while I'm waiting for all the league paperwork ( my wife is the Sec so we wait) and the next day after I'm home with Clean and Dull. I found the No Mercy's require it and the "junk" you get off the balls will really surprise you.

Granted I'm in the desert and a lot of dust/dirt here so might be needed more here than other places.

Every time I use them. Usually twice a week - once after league and once after practice. I use Zapp-It. I also use Clean and Dull on them once a month.

I use a micro towel after every shot, but now use legends after each set and I was really surprised at how much dirt and oil comes off. I figure if one is going to spend that much money on a ball, then why not take care of it?

Everytime before the ball goes back in the bag it is cleaned with Ebonite Powerhouse.

When there is an obvious track.The rest of the ball is not in contact with the lane so I don't worry about it.Scuffs and dirt outside the track is just cosmetics to me.

Every time I use them with 50/50 Simple Green. I find that it's stronger than most cleaners without removing any polish on the ball. Wipe it off every shot, too.

If you saw what I see coming out of balls in the Revivor you'd be amazed at how much dirt and oil are removed from the cover.
