and it gets 10/10 stars from me  Took me about ten minutes to do 8 rods using just the eraser and a slow stream of hot water.  Mind you, this was at least 8 years worth of dirt.  It just rubbed right off and I didn't even have to work at it.  Cork looks brand new.  MANY thanks to the original poster who tried this out and posted about it. 8-)

great idea i have never thought about!! i used rubbing alcohol with a sponge to clean my cork on my rods are every season

that magic eraser is truly magic....i use that for a 100 different things & its great.ill have to try it on the rods now

Now that you have them clean you need to seal them and keep them that way.

Reelmech,

I know you have put up that info before but I cant find it in a search, do you mind telling us what you use to seal the corks.  Thanks again.

He uses U-40 Cork Sealer.  It's on his site.  It's good stuff by the way.  He told me what to do and I followed his instructions.  This cork sealer is in a small bottle.  When I received it, I thought to myself that it would not be enough.  Man was I wrong.  I did 10 rods with it and didn't use half of it.  Now I just use soap and water and dirt just comes right off.

THAT AIN'T DIRT.......... IT'S KARMA!!!!  8-)

Woo hoo! glad you liked it also. Using rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol makes it dry a lot faster also. Also I have a question to everyone, does using the cork sealer change the feel of the cork? Or does it retain the natural cork feeling after being treated? Thanks for any info

Not in the least.  You won't be able to tell the difference.
