I play in my basement and my rubbers become really dirty after about fifteen minutes. I clean my rubbers probably 3-5 times a day (with water and sponge), will this shorten the life of the rubbers? If so, how often should I replace them?

Hi Ryan,
It is best to clean the rubber whenever you see they are dirty. Rubbers will wear out more if you play with them dirty.
Rubbers tend to last around 100 hours as a guide.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Clean up your basement? :P
Does the continual cleaning of them damage them?

If you use a soft cloth or sponge and water it won't damage them.
