Step 1
You will need the help of cloth from a cotton towel that is completely clean and also dry or a microfiber cloth.
Wipe it on the surface of the tennis racket handle, removing surface dirt and all dust.
Afterwards, moisten the cloth with a little water and repeat the process you have done.
Step 2
Make a mixture of soapy water; for this mixture, you can use any liquid detergent and mix with hot water.
Wet the cloth you are using with soapy water.
The next thing is to rub the cloth with the grip as much as possible to loosen the dirt.
Step 3
If the dirt is still stuck to the grip, soap the handle with the liquid detergent directly, that is, without mixing it with the water.
After lathering the grip, scrub as best you can with a sponge, do it as long as necessary to remove dirt.
If you wish, you can do the process again, that is, a second wash.
Step 4
After pre-washing and washing, you should dry the tennis racket grip very well with a cloth that is dry and also clean, make sure that there is no trace of moisture on the handle since moisture could cause it to rot.

For this you will have two ways to do it:

The second way is to try to wet a cloth, either cotton or microfiber, and rub it on the grip.
Whichever way you decide to use, you will have to let the prepared mixes sit on the handle for at least half an hour, this is for best results.
In the case of baking soda: If you are using the baking soda mixture, you will need to smear the mixture on the handle until it is completely white, leaving no space on the grip uncovered.
The paste will absorb all the dirt from the handle while it is resting on it, in this way when you remove the layer of baking soda, the remaining dirt will also come off.
Step 6

Wipe the dry cloth around the grip using force, so you will also polish the grip.
