ray always give the ball a hot water bath after awhile. Use the tap water as hot as it comes out of the faucet. Do not use anything over 130 degrees. You could tape the fingerholes. The recommended procedure is put the ball in a 5 gal bucket and fill with hot tap water and alittle dawn dish detergent(optional). Let the ball soak in the hot water for around 1/2 hour to 45 mins. You will see some residue on the water and ball. Take the ball out refill the bucket with tap water again and let it soak again. Keep doing this untill you don't see any residue or oil on the surface of the water or ball,
