Nappysan will clean them.
On any new rod I rub the cork over with a candle. Then go over it with a hair drier.
Its a personal thing, Some folk like em dirty and smelly.
I got a rag and soaked it with a little bit of methylated spirits and gave the cork grip gentle rubs. The cork is much cleaner than what it originally was but it still has a few light darkish stains on it.
when ive brought any cork grip rod before use I rub surfboard wax on and melt with lighter. Thus pretects them from roaches and also water proofs them.
