Grip tape is a sticky, adhesive strip that is often used to secure a hand grip on a baseball or softball bat. It can be difficult to clean and maintain its grip strength. Here are four tips for cleaning grip tape:

  1. Use warm water and soap.
  2. Scrub the tape with a stiff brush or an old toothbrush.
  3. Rinse the tape off with clean water and dry it off completely before applying new grip tape.
  4. Apply a light coating of petroleum jelly to the back of the hand before applying the new grip tape to ensure a strong hold. ..
