The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically cleaning and drying balls, including golf balls. The apparatus comprises a housing that contains a cleaning liquid, scrubbing channel, drying section, and rotator. An electric motor, which rotates the rotator, is switched “on” in response to a sensor detecting a ball in an entry chute. The rotator moves a ball carrying means (preferably including a wheel for spinning the ball) for receiving the ball from the entry chute and moving the ball through the scrubbing channel and drying section to a point for the ball to exit. The motor is switched “off” in response to a sensor (which can comprise a cam and limit switch) detecting, directly or indirectly, that the rotator has rotated at least enough for the ball to exit. Alternative embodiments may comprise ball counting means and/or biasing means.
