Keeping your table tennis rubber clean is essential for maintaining spin, control, and overall performance. Over time, dust, sweat, and debris can reduce the tackiness of your rubber, affecting your game. Here’s a simple guide to using table tennis rubber cleaner properly.
Step 1: Apply the Cleaner
Start by applying a small amount of table tennis rubber cleaner directly onto the surface of the rubber. There’s no need to use too much—just a thin layer is enough to do the job effectively.
Step 2: Wipe with a Sponge
Using a soft sponge, gently wipe the cleaner across the entire surface of the rubber. Spread it evenly until the surface is clean. The cleaner will help lift off dirt and restore the rubber’s original tackiness.
Step 3: Let It Dry Naturally
After cleaning, wait for the moisture on the rubber to fully evaporate before using your paddle again. Once dry, your rubber should feel noticeably cleaner and grippier—ready for your next match.

⚠ Important Tip: Don’t Forget to Clean the Sponge!
Over time, the sponge used to apply the cleaner can absorb a large amount of residue. If the sponge becomes oversaturated with cleaner, it may leave a thin film on the rubber surface during cleaning. This invisible layer can actually reduce tackiness instead of restoring it.
To prevent this:
Rinse your sponge regularly.
Allow it to dry between uses.
Replace the sponge when it starts to feel greasy or heavily stained.
