No big deal man. Just leave it, or if you want to clean it you can with an old tooth brush and a little (a little bit!) of warm water.

^^^ be sure not to soak your whole board in water, though, and theres also grip gum, which is like 6 bucks off ccs that also cleans your grip

an old beater tooth brush and some 409 can work wonders. IMO, don't buy something for a department store price, when you've probably already got something in the house that will get the same result.

I honestly don't like the smell of grip gum, but the stuff works. A little bit of rubbing alch, and a toothbrush does the job everytime though. Don't use paper towels or a towel, it will be shitty.

Oh my god, I did that the first time. **** it was stupid. Your board has little bits of paper stuck in between the grip for so long. I had to chuck that grip.
Let the grip air dry if you use a toothbrush. NEVER use a hairdryer. EVER. Use a hairdryer to remove grip, not to dry. Just though I should chuck that out there.
