May have already mentioned this, but a top rated player @ my club paints a thin layer of lighter fluid onto the sponge side of his rubber almost every practice. Says it brings older rubber back to life, but is not legal (of course) for match play. Some sponge can take it, lower quality sponge cannot, and will be ruined by doing this. Either way, I don't think it is healthy to breath lighter fluid fumes every week, so I don't even try it. Have started cleaning the top sheet with a light solution of water and mild/natural dish soap. This gets the skin oil and dust off. Cheers!
