The best method I've found is to take bar towel or microfiber towel and wet it. Wring out as much of the water as you possibly can. Hold it in your hand and give give it the business from tip to joint and back a few times (3 or 4 max) squeezing pretty much as hard as you can. Then do the same thing with a dry towel. It's obviously not going to get chalk dust out of the grain. But as long as it was in decent shape to begin with, it'll take any sweat buildup and stickiness off of it without really raising the grain because there's barely any water left in the towel and it's only on there for a few seconds. I might take 20 seconds and burnish it with a piece of leather before I play with it again. But it just kind of depends on whether I think to do it or not.
