How to Properly Clean Table Tennis Rubber 🏓 

The best way

This makes great sense. Thanks. Funny how you can learn more by reading comments than from the video itself.😄

I got my first blade when i was 9 back in 1977. it was a carbon fiber blade. i think i had a Stellan Bengtsson carbon fiber blade. Mark V has been around since the 70's . I started using Sriver and long pimples (for backhand)

Mine was 2011 I was 9

same. we clean our rubbers under running tap

Uff acetona muy fuerte!

Interesting. Never tried

I love the wrap. I made a video on it: How to WRAP Grip Tape - Table Tennis Racket/ Paddle/ Bat ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4pahrSkKfcA.html

What is the cotton for???

@@CloudsFPV For rubbing, what else...

Agreed! Wrap it while it is still kinda damp. Stickiness remains as good as new.

Same goes to me. My new setup abs 3 anti spin + longpip ox with donic cayman blade. 100% defend and distracted ball. Wowwwwww

Nice, Most cleaners I have purchased are pretty good. I just try to stay away from the foamy cleaners or overly soapy ones

@@dfy yup me too …not a fan of foams

Whatchu talkin bout Willis

1. A non-aggressive cleaning table tennis spray is okay to clean your rubber with after every table tennis session in my opinion. It’s meant for cleaning and protecting your rubber - (Diluting a solution is also an idea, if it’s too aggressive). Although, I usually prefer a non-foamy cleaning spray or sprays that don’t contain a lot of soap. The Tibar Grip spray used in the video works as it should. Tibar states that it’s a “cleaner that cleans and prolongs the life of your rubbers and improves their grip”; which is why I personally use it and believe it does a good job. Also, there are many other good sprays that work just as well! 2. I agree. Demilitarized water works just fine, although it does not dissolve or remove the oils from fingers or sweat that build up on your rubber that easily. That is why most rubber cleaners have a small amount of a cleaning agent. 3. Yes, any “special cleaning sponge” should be suitable. As stated in the video some cleaning sponges leave remnants on the table tennis rubber, like the Butterfly Cotton Sponge. Nonetheless, when using most “special cleaning sponges”, whether they leave remnants or not, the rubber is suitable for playing just fine; also stated in the video. 4. Agreed. Although, rather than a roller, I just use my fingers to remove the air bubbles from the protective film. 5. Yes! Definitely remove the films before playing🤓. Also, I try to avoid getting dust on the films. True, I was cleaning the black rubber a little bit too aggressively. I even stated that I wanted to “do more of a deep clean” for the purpose of the video and test the Butterfly Cotton Sponge results under good light. Although when cleaning the red rubber, you’ll see that I gently used the Butterfly Clean Care Sponge and it worked perfectly the first time leaving absolutely no dust, oils or sponge remnants behind. I thought that was pretty amazing. Thanks for the input!

4. What jf i dont have that? Will just a regular sponge and tap water be good?

@@maciejguz9253 You don't really need a branded rubber film to protect your rubbers, just something to prevent dust buildup when you're not using the racket. In reality, a piece of paper will do fine assuming that you can make it stick to the rubber's surface.

@@raikiro797 alr thanks

@@raikiro797 I use plastic adhesive sheets from the craft/fabric store and it works perfect plus is very cheap.

eso le quitará pegajosidad al hule, lo hice con una raqueta que tenía por ahí

Even though it works the oil from her hands isn't cleaned from the rubber - you need to use a bit of detergent to break down the oils. However the main point is to not have dust on your racket

Good eye!

In this video I test different sponges: How to Properly Clean Table Tennis Rubber 🏓 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JMisL4YkvoM.html

A cheap Chinese sponge from eBay or Ali works just as well

@@sashbar thanks sir

Dilute the cleaning solution 1:3 ratio, 1 part solution, 3 parts water. Now you have a less harsh cleaner for tacky rubber and 3x the solution :)

@@dfy thanks buddy!

I’m not a fan of this cleaner, it’s a foam cleaner and a feels a bit greasy from the cleaning agent butterfly uses. I’m sure it works just fine, but not my favorite

@@dfy What would you recommend?

Yes it does restore the rubber and that is why it's a bit oily

🤔

No I use for months

Y se le quita el efecto?

You can use an old toothbrush

Water

Good question. With the clean care sponge I rinse with the sponge on its side (vertically) at a slight angle to a faucet. Or you can clean in a bowl of water being careful not to fully saturate the sponge and ring out the water; let it air dry. Don’t have to do this often. Thanks for the comment actually - New video idea 💡

Idk, going to try that..

Yes, eventually. Dilute the cleaning solution on a 1:3 ratio - one part cleaning solution, and three parts water. Now you have three times the amount of cleaning solution

@@dfy I bought the smallest bottle of cleaning liquid 10 years ago, used it twice a week on average, and it's still 3/4 full 😅

@@Youda00008 hah wow, mine last about a year after diluting

Here you go, this is a pips brush cleaning tool by butterfly: www.megaspin.net/store/large-image.asp?pid=b-clean-brush

@@dfy Thanks a lot 👍👍 Is there any liquid for cleaning pips rubber?

@@technicalmistu0000 Yes, this is recommended: www.megaspin.net/store/default.asp?pid=b-cure-water

Dima O.

No, it will only increase it after its clean. I always check the tackiness after and it’s amazing

@@dfy Okay thank you

@@dfy Can I also use water and a rag?

@@tnis_table Yes, that’s works

That’s unusual, what kind rubber? Maybe the solution you used left residue making your rubber slick. It’s best to dilute the solution or just clean with water to avoid residue

I use the silkdhrot rubber, thank you for the tipss

Carpenter adhesive laga kar jod dega

Just use a little bit of clean tap water and a clean rag. This will do the trick just fine

@@dfy thanks 😁😁

@@dfy can I use sponge? instead of rag?

@@erixo2996 Yep!

​@@dfy Can i use cotton and water?

Butterfly Ovtcharov Innerforce ALC

Same process. Not as aggressive

DO ALC ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jqJvfw-QVdI.html

I wonder if there are any glue residues left from the tape which may degrade the performance of the rubber over time

Lol why.. Because it’s all butterfly products? Haha

Great option! If you want a worn out rubber after 1 month

🤖

Buy what products? I don’t sell products lol

​@@dfy well... I was looking for a method, I was really getting into it, I had my paddle, some water, maybe some basic household detergent, but then when I saw you were using a special cleaner which I didn't have I thought, hey, I don't have this product and I got me son saying hurry up dad it's getting dark. Anyway I don't have this cleaner and I'm really like not going to wait a couple of days to get this cleaner and then come back to this video to watch the rest possibly to be told that I have to use a special cleaning pad to apply it with. Since then my Abilify has kicked in so all is good.

@@chrisw7402 Use plain old water and a regular dish sponge (the soft side) will work just fine. You can make your own solution using 1/100 ratio dish soap and water. Good luck my man

@@dfy thank you so much. It worked a treat!!!
