+1 for this, I use 180-200 wet and dry paper, just a very light sanding once every 3-4 outings, and in between I use warm soapy water and a scourer pad, I think you yanks call them "brillo pads"

And if you play a lot, replace them at least once a year. I replace twice a year.

Replace them once a year, at least. If the price seems steep, then buy some grip tape and solvent and do it yourself - that way you can regrip a whole set of irons for under $30.

Thanks.

Regripping Tools
I've had this stuff for years, like 25 years. If I were equip myself now, here's what I would recommend.
1. You need a Stanley Knife with a hook blade for easy grip removal.
2. I would buy the 2" rolls of tape rather than the strips, slightly cheaper.
3. I would not use water activated tape.
4. I understand Coleman lantern fuel works well as a solvent.
5. I would buy the shaft clamp that has the metal plates on the side.
Just works better than the non-metal version. You need a vice.
6. Pay attention to the butt diameter of your iron shafts. Probably will be
0.580 for regular flex and 0.600 for stiff.
7. Buy your grips to fit the shaft.
8. You can google to find out about how to build up grips with extra wraps
of tape.
Once you do your first set, total elapsed time is less than 45 minutes per set.

I agree with everything else but you are much better off using Brampton HF-100 Advance Grip Tape Activator. It's odorless and non-flammable plus you use a lot less. Check out the video on their site.

Blow on grips. Yes, but first you need an air compressor. Second, it doesn't work with all grips (They blow up like a balloon). Third, blown on grips can slip (twist) on the shaft.
Been there, done that, back to traditional way.

While we're talking about grips...
The best grip I have found for the Florida climate and my sweaty hands are the Lamkin Dual Density Torsion Control. They are comfortable, always tacky and need minimal cleaning.
