Bat cleaning

Dennis Rutter Asked 6 months ago

How often should I clean my bat rubber, and what should I use? Up to now I use a propriety bat-cleaning foam (by Joola) and use it maybe every few weeks.

Hi Dennis,

How often?

• Ideally after every session — a quick wipe is enough.

Why clean it regularly?

• Removes dust, ball residue, and sweat oils that reduce spin.

• Keeps the surface grippy, especially important for tacky or soft rubbers.

What to use?

• For everyday cleaning: just water and a clean damp sponge (ideally a soft one made for rubbers). Wipe gently and let it air dry.

• Avoid harsh soaps or alcohol, which can dry out or damage the surface.

Extra tip: After cleaning, use a rubber protector film to keep dust off and maintain tackiness longer.
