Cleaning Rubber
Equipment
Henry Lauw Asked 9 years ago
Dear Coach,
Is it safe to clean rubber using alcohol (pure alcohol that sold in pharmachy or store)?
Thank you.

Hi Henry,
I have used the Alcohol wipes to clean rubber which can be OK if used from time to time. I haven't used pure alcohol. Perhaps someone with some experience with this can help... or a chemist that can explain the reaction it may have.

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.

I have used 99% isopropyl alcohol for forty years. I find it the best cleaner when used with a fine sponge and left to evaporate. I've never noticed any detrimental effects but I wouldn't use it more than necessary. Water is safer but the alcohol is nice before a tournament, optimum spin. Cheers
Thanks Peter.
