Because I can be an insane neat freak, I was wondering how everyone cleans their heads, if they do at all. Lots of built up dirt and mud drive me nuts; I know, it's a lacrosse stick. But heck.

yes, it would take the paint off, thats why is use it to take tape dirt off in order to apply new tape, you could also use it to take dirt off of haeds

I clean alot of heads. I use the combination of Brillo pads and a nail cleaner brush. The Brillo Pad works wonders on those tough scuff marks and for the sharp corners, I use the brush.

I lick my stick clean.
Jk. I sumtimes just rub toothepaste on it but I haven't done that for several months. I will also spit on it and try to rub it clean with my fingers.

I would think that would weaken the plastic over time. Bleach is pretty strong stuff...
I just take either some kitchen counter cleaner and an old towel, or some dishwashing liquid and water.

bleaching your stick is something you should definitely not do
i just throw my stick in tub of hot water and then after that i scrub at it with a sponge with some soap on it maybe clean out the sidewall holes with a toothpick

lol, i just get a rag wet with soem water and scrub it till all the dirt comes out, bleaching isnt the way to go, it'll kill your stick, but anyway, just a rag and some water will clean it fine
