Cleaning Bass Mallets?

Registered: 07/26/08

The mallets that my bass line use at school have a dark dirty looking patch on the mallet head because of use.
Is there any way to clean them or would it be better off to replace them?

Have you tried conventional cleaning like soap and water? A clorox(sp?) wipe would probably do the trick also.

Well, Don't hit the ink and your mallet should (In theory) stay decently clean. Other then that, If it's not effecting how the drum looks (Leaving black spots) Whats the point in replacing it?
If the mallet plays fine, and does no harm.

My favorite YouTube comment On the subject of a bad tenor player just to let you guys know, being a drummer, he meant to hit the rims, it's part of the effect. It changes it up a bit.

I've seen different things. It depends on the mallets and whats on them. Some people use sandpaper, tape, a sponge with laundry detergent and water, a white eraser... I don't know how well all of these work, but that's all I can remember right now.
