   If your tennis balls are really dirty, you might want to let them soak longer., Once the tennis balls have soaked, scrub them with a rag or sponge.
   
   This will get rid of any dirt that has soaked into the ball., You might need to rub at the tennis balls with your hands to make sure you get all of the soap off as you rinse them., Once you’ve finished cleaning the tennis balls, set them out to air dry, If you’re in a hurry, you can also put them in the dryer.
   
   Simply set your dryer to its lowest heat setting and toss them in.
