    • Boil water in a pot.

    • Once the water reaches boiling temperature (212°F/100°C), dip a rag into the water.

    • Be careful when handling the rag after it has been taken out of the boiling water. Handling the rag too quickly can result in a burn.

    • Take the soaked rag and begin cleaning the handlebar by applying pressure and rubbing in a downwards motion.
