Hi Jimmy,

Water is fine for cleaning your bat.  As long as you are not leaving the water on the blade for too long it will be OK.  Just use a damp sponge to wipe down the rubber.

Rubber cleaners are OK and will make your rubber tacky but water is cheaper and just as effective.  You may want to use a rubber cleaner rarely just to get the extra oils or dirt off.
