Abstract: An electrically powered automated golf club grip cleaning unit for sequentially cleaning a full set of golf clubs essentially as fast as the operator can insert and withdraw the clubs from the unit. The automated unit comprises a closed, water tight housing that is divided into an upper and a lower compartment having a rotating (carousel-like) lid that accepts a plurality of inverted golf club shafts and grips through openings into the top compartment and allows the clubs to spin while advancing them through a wash and rinse zone while making abrasive contact with spinning brushes within the upper compartment and simultaneously recycling wash water as well as rinse water accumulating in partitioned reservoirs in the lower compartment back to the upper compartment for cleaning the grips of the golf clubs. The apparatus further provides continuous bleed-off of some of the recirculating rinse water and make up of fresh water.
