I normally just clean mine with a little warm water and mild detergent then dry them off before putting it up. Especially if I know I'm not going to be able to ride for an extended period of time.

How old are they? Do you get a lot of sun where you are?
I noticed some chafing and stickiness on a pair of ISO's I had. I guess its a combination of use, UV/sunlight, chemicals (cleaning agents, polish, etc), and the specific compound they use. ISO's feel a lot like silicone.
I tried different things to get the stickiness reduced but never really able to get rid of it completely. Figured someone was telling me it was time for new grips.

can you just replace the rubber part of the grip?
