The rules of Table Tennis state that you can not use any type of cleaner on your rubbers, except plain water.
Law 2.04.07 states ...
The racket covering shall be used without any physical, chemical or other treatment.
This means that there is a total ban on the use of all products which clean or improve the rubber. Table tennis rubbers must be used as they were when they were originally tested and authorised.
Each player is solely responsible for their own racket, which must be free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
A table tennis racket comprises of both the blade and the rubbers which are attached to it. The blade is the wooden piece which includes the handle and the area where the rubbers are attached.
Only table tennis rubbers authorised by the International Table Tennis Federation can be used in authorised table tennis events. A list of authorised rubbers is issued every 6 months. Dunlop Blackstorm Nitro and Dunlop Blackstorm Nemesis are on the current list, so they are currently legal.
The best players choose their blade and rubbers depending on what they prefer, and who sponsors them. There are too many types to list here.
Some people use "speed glue" to enhance the speed.
Table tennis rubbers do not have any expiry date on them but they deteriorate with age, so you'll need to replace them at regular intervals. Dust particles penetrate the rubber causing it to lose its tackiness. And exposure to heat, light and air also causes the rubber to deteriorate. Professional table tennis players change their rubber extremely frequently - some players change them every day - but they don't have to buy them! You'll need to change your rubbers when they start to lose their tackiness.
The rules of table tennis state that at least 85% of the blade by thickness must be of natural wood. Most blades are 100% wood. A racket is made up of a wooden blade, which incorporates the handle, and rubbers which are affixed to each side of the blade.
To protect your table tennis racket, make buy a good racket case (sometimes called a table tennis racket cover) to store it in. This will keep it safe from damage such as liquid spills, dirt and sunlight. A second method of caring for your racket is to use a sponge and plain water to keep your rubbers clean.
You are only allowed to use water to clean your rubbers. So use a damp cloth and wipe away any dirt or dust.
