Clear ammonia on a soft rag. Rub small sections at a time, vigorously.

Restores to showroom condition. Don't appreciate grime on any of my Muskie equipment, including the cork on my rods.

Household bleach(sodium hypochlorite) works great on cork it kiils mold and does a great job of cleaning at the same time. Oxyclean (sodium percarbonate) also works great, you can also sand and seal your cork handles after cleaning. It is a common misconseption that sodium hypochlorite is harsh on wood since sodium hypochorite is proven to break down lignin in the wood fiber. Most household bleach products are less than 5% sodium hypochlite which is a safe dillution for most aplications.
