Best way of cleaning your Rubber

Danny Unknown Asked 15 years ago

Hey,

Often you have to clean your table tennis bat .. And most people say the best method and cheapest is to breath on it and rub it with your wrist or the inside of your hand.

Well I was wondering, can you also use steam (Boiled Water) on it so you don't have to continuously to breath on it ?

Using steam on it, I mean holding the bat above the boiling water or something that gives steam off.

And if you can so, will it affect your rubber?
Does heat actually affects your rubber?

Thank you,,

Danny :)

Hi Danny,

Just use water on a damp sponge. This is much easier than usingsteam and you won't be able to use steam during a match.

The heat will effect the rubber as well after a while.
