If you feel that your grips have a bit of "buildup" in the checkering, I have used a soft toothbrush to remove any. The toothbrush will not harm the wood, nor will it change the color of the wood.
If you ever decide to remove one or both grips, then you can look at the backs of the grips to determine what the original color of the wood was when they were made. That will give one a bit of an idea of the "aging" of the wood over time and usage......also if oil was applied to the grips.
