    How can I clean my signed baseball?
    Community Answer
    I would recommend you don't clean it. The dirt, etc. is representative of the game/player. If you really insist, use the bleach and dish detergent with a cotton ball and go gently around the signature.

    Is there a way to soften weathered balls up that are loaded with dried dirt/mud and are hard to the touch?

    Yes, it's best to do this with each ball, one at a time. Start with a clean micro-fiber cloth and use a mixture of dish soap and water. Use the cloth to wet the ball w/plain water, and if you can, moisten the entire ball and let the water soak in for a few minutes w/the cloth. If there is no signature on the ball add Oxyclean to the water and soap. Oxyclean will help immensely. Use the micro-Fiber cloth to gently clean the ball. If using Oxyclean, let the ball soak for at least 5 minutes with the cloth on the ball. The Oxyclean makes the ball look newer. If there is a signature, no Oxyclean. It's best to use gentle motion back and forth with the cloth but press hard as you do.
