I'm silly, I know.. But I got the new prince o3 white, which is really a gorgeous racket... But the grip is dirty :( I know it doesn't really effect much, but ... yeah, what should I use to clean it?

Practiacally speaking you can not clean the grip. There are a couple of brands of powder that can clean it a little, but they do not do much. Afterall there is a lot of sweat on this grip.
What you can do it periodic change of the grip cover and by the I mean buying a small grip that is fitted over the original grip. You should have done that when the original grips were brand new. Anyways, u can still buy them and replace them every couple of weeks. Not only do they look good, but provide you with a better grip around the racket. Pro tennis players use them all the time and you see them changing them often during long matches.

It's really hard to clean a grip. If you do find a solution to clean a grip, it will just keep getting dirtier. If your grip really needs a bad cleaning, you've been using it and probably need an over grip.
I have a prince o3 blue ( gorgeous racquet ) and a think I need a few over grips myself.

grips are sooo cheap just go out and buy a new one. actually it would be smarter to buy a new pack of new grips when you have to restring it first because most places give u a discount if you buy something else when you restring your racquet with them. I have 3 o3 tours and they constantly wear out of grip so i have a whole pouch in my bag full of unused grips. Also if u put a grip on over another grip when the one on top gets dirty or torn or broken, you can simply take the top one off and the bottom one should work for a while.

Get another one. I have that same racket. I have had it for 1/2 a year now. I use overgrip by Tourna Grip. I find that works the best.

Go to a tennis show and get an overgrip. That way you can change it whenever it gets dirty.

just change the grip
i've tried to clean my white grip with microfibre sponge, if it doesnt work, nothing would. (It didn't work)
introducing chemicals into the grip would just spoil it or it'll 'spoil' your hand. So, just change it...
