Good old warm soapy sunlight liquid and a nail scrubbing brush if you have to. Personally I like to leave my cork handles alone, it lends to the character of the rod. Like a nick on a favourite reel, once there, there's very little you can do about it, so I learnt to live with the battle scars on my equipment and got on with my fishing.....and found myself enjoying it all the more.
