Cleaning rubber too often

Equipment

Alex Thyer Asked 13 years ago

I play 7 times per week. Can cleaning the bat too often lead to breakages?

if so, how often should i clean my bat?

Hi Alex,

It is important to keep the rubber clean. The more dust that gets on them the quicker they will wear out and it will also affect the performance if you hit with them while there is dust.

It is OK to clean them often with water, just a damp cloth works best.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

I think a damp soft sponge(damped with cold water) would be the best to clean rubbers, but using warm or hot water can remove the spin and damage rubbers.

I usually use a soft and wet sponge to clean my rubbers and i do it 2 times per week..
