A Magic Eraser works nicely.

I use dish soap and a soft brush

Just use an old toothbrush and some soapy water simple as that.

Tooth brush and simple green and rinse water after cleaning.
Also, with some cork of today, some pit filler for the filler that gets scrubbed out of the cork. I generally use Elmer's wood filler in "light oak: color for natural colored cork.

Dawn dish soap and soft tooth brush is what I use.

Equally important, and more so if it is a cork grip on a fly rod, is to let the cork thoroughly air dry before returning the rod section to its bag and tube. Moisture in or on a rod stored in a dark place, such as a bar and tube, is an invitation for some very bad things to happen.

Best thing I have found is isopropyl alcohol and a rag. Rub it until it is clean and it will dry quickly like new in seconds.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will see what works best for me.

Actually, Windex glass cleaner and a tooth brush also works very well for this as well as many other cleaning chores.

I use Cork Magic put out by Wilson Fraisor, otherwise know as the Professor. Stuff works great.
