Should I Clean My Darts? Cleaning darts is not uncommon among players; over time their darts, particularly their barrels, become dirty due to repeated usage and handling. The barrel area often receives the highest exposure.
For optimal barrel cleaning, ensure a bowl of warm water with mild detergent is filled to the brim, then use a soft brush to scrub away dirt from your dart’s grooves with it. Cloths or other cleaning solutions may also be effective at this task – just remember to dry off after you’re finished so as to prevent corrosion or paint peeling off!
