Place Your Irons in the Bucket

Take the bucket, with its water and suds, outside near your garden hose (if you live in an apartment and don't have access to your garden hose, continue working in a sink or bathtub).

Set the bucket down, then place your irons in the bucket with the clubheads submerged. Notice how the clubs' ferrules are above the level of the water and suds.

Allow the irons to soak in the warm water for just a couple minutes. This will help loosen dirt in the grooves of the clubface, and allow the suds to begin working on oils and golf course chemicals that are on the clubheads.
