I've always been a big fan of the foam cleaners, like the Butterfly rushawa cleaner which I've used for the last 20 years. Unfortunately this cleaner, and others like it, seem to have been discontinued, not sure why, perhaps because they're in pressured bottles which makes them riskier (and thus expensive) to ship.
I know a lot of people use water, which I use myself as well for regular cleaning, but I feel that after a certain time a cleaner will do a better job to restore the grip. So what cleaners have you tried and which ones do you like best? |

Palm sweat and sometimes a little huff and puff on the rubber during games.
After games I use Yasaka cleaner. Once in a while after using Yasaka cleaner, I use Revolution 3 cleaner and rejuvenator. I try not to overthink cleaning. I more so make sure my rubbers don't rub on my bat case so I use those rubber plastic covers. A lot of people just put their paddle in their cases after cleaning without any extra protection.

I've tried both Yasaka's foam cleaner and the Paddle Palace liquid cleaner and they both seem to work pretty well. I've tried distilled water, but it's very squeaky and doesn't wipe from the rubber well.

I use Windex or any ammonia based glass cleaner. Use a spray bottle (50ml) and use only one puff then quickly clean off the chemical by a dry towel. This substance works great in German or Japansese non-sticky rubbers For tacky sticky rubbers, use 1/3 red wine (cheap one) with 2/3 water. Can also use tea or any solution with tannin. I normally add 1% KaOH for cleaning purpose to get rid of oily sweat |

There is no real "pro", "prov" or "NT" H3 in the market.

A drop of free and clear liquid handsoap on a damp cut off piece of dollar store car wash sponge. Rinse, squeeze dry, wipe and repeat until squeeky clean. Cheap and effective.

I think our friend jt99sf was the 1st here to mention printer roller rejuvenators, it is the closest I ever found to the crazy Spinmax product that was discontinued for containing relatively harmful products.
Printer roller rejuvenator is a bit too much for most people who do not use tacky rubbers though but on an older rubber ready for the recycle bin, it's a great solution. Clean with water first, use the rejuvenator, let it do its thing for a few minutes, clean with water again to avoid skin contact afterwards. People use those products in office setups so it is probably not that harmful but I would still use in a ventilated area and above all avoid skin contact.

A few drops of filtered water or PolandSpring water. Then dry it with a lintless microfiber hand towel.

How about the rubber protective film? I feel it is hard to properly use one to protect tacky rubbers. Most protective film are easy to deform and one can not adhere it nicely on the rubber surface afterwards.

Hot water and an old toothbrush works as well or better than any cleaner I have used.
Paddle Palace cleaner works fine. (Also works well for cleaning and restoring some tackiness to golf club grips) Falco Life Expander is pretty good for giving rubber a little more life. |

Rinse with warm water and liquid soap. Put into a large ziploc bag after drying.
