Pretty sure that the spambot resurrecting a zombie thread from 2009 was only good enough to fool us for a moment, until we actually visited the website it that was linked (and corrected kutchen to Kutchen?) Edited by icontek - 01/25/2018 at 11:28pm |

I would advice to NEVER use a Kutchen sponge, because these are designed to be abrasive (to get tough dirt of dishes/plates), which will damage the delicate surface of the rubber.

How about using a Kutchen sponge which has absorbed soapy water to wipe out the dirt from rubber? Please do not use acid detergent for cleaning because that will damage the rubber.

That works on Chinese tacky rubbers. I think the non-tacky/euro stuff doesn't respond to that very well. I've begun cleaning my H3 with only sweat at the end, and breath during play. Seems to be working wonders, and the tack seems to be increasing slowly.
For real, don't waste money on cleaners. I have a little finger spray bottle of distilled water in my case, and .99 sponge from Wal-Mart. Does everything you'd need and won't degrade the rubber like an alcohol based cleaner will.

What's wrong cleaning the rubbers with your breath and your hand? I always do that multiple times while i play and once before i put my racket to rest. If there is nothing wrong with it why buy and use market stuff? |

I use a piece of cotton wool and wet it with water then wipe rubber and air dry.

heh,,,,,,,the way i used the kenetix, i apply i after i play and place and acetate, or protection film over the rubber, not durng play, during play just use my hands, or arms,,,,, the cool part is everytime i peel off the protection film, it feels like i just install a new rubber, my rubber sheets used to last me 6-7 weeks, ( 4 time/week), now they last 12-15 weeks.

I use water and a sponge for cleaning my rubbers. If it is a old rubber, I use kenetix spray.

I must stress this again - DO NOT use those special table tennis foam/liquid cleaners on a regular basis - eg. 5+ times a week.
They dry your rubbers out and then you'll cry after you see the damage. You could probably use it maybe once a month just to make it look nice. USE WATER AND A TABLE TENNIS SPONGE. =D |

i wod say try spinax yourself,what i notice it makes the rubbe topsheet brittle, you'll see,while kenetix you will feel that the compound penetrate the topssheet, make it like a newrubber fee,
for sponges, go to Waalmart or Kmart, get those womens facial sponges, if its good for the face itll be ok for my TT rubber, and its cheap....
jUst as a food for thought, AKALI DRIES, ACID DRIES, ALCOHOL DRIES,,,rubber and synthetic rubber additives and presevatives is the only one that is use in production of rubbers,,,,

Be sure the kitchen sponge ( i use soft microfibre cloth ) is really soft so that it doesn micro scratch zthe rubbers surface. Don t rub the rubber dry, but wave it dry. I prefer destilled water with a tiny tiny bit dish soap in it to remove fat from the skin ( the commercial cleaners nowerdays - VOCfree - are mostly the same ). To refresh the tackiness joola spinmax is good. |

Donic Bioclean is my cleaner of choice. I'm currently out of it, so I'm just using water right now. While acceptable, I'd much rather use the Donic Bioclean because it just feels cleaner/tackier/grippier after a cleaning.

I've used both spinmax and kenetix. Spinmax just adds tack to the rubber, I've used it on quite a few setups, with no ill effects. Kenetix is really more for grippy rubbers. While it does bring back "dead" rubbers, I feel that it doesn't really do much for new rubbers and leaves a coating which I don't really like.

Once in a while - like once in two weeks - I use a drop of GooGone. It is a citrus-based cleaner found in your local Walmart for 7 dollars or smth. It doesn't kill the rubbers at all but it helps to revitalize them a bit.

i would suggest the KENETIX,, you can find them at www.americantabletennis.com, i have tried all of them, including just distilled water, so far i the bet product i ever use, i really extend the life of the rubber, feels like im using a new rubber all the time.
