Actually I think you are wrong on that one. I don't think a single doctor would tell you that a germ free environment is good for you.
I understand what you are saying, I'm a germophobe, I don't like people touching my paddle, keyboard, mouse or anything I touch on a regular basis. I have a obsessive-compulsion disorder and feel as if I have to wash my hands all the time. People are disgusting... I'm still under treatment for it though, because it has a severe impact on my life.
Bottom line is that germs are good for your immune system and the amount of germs spread the way you describe, from otherwise healthy individuals, are probably just good for you and your immune system.
It's a completely different thing if the person in question is actually sick, but then he has no business playing table tennis to begin with.
EDIT: What I'm trying to convey is that the bacteria we have around us actually do help to do what Suga D said, it helps our immune system to prevent illness. So Suga D is actually correct, a doctor would say that prevention is better, Suga D's idea of prevention is what I think is wrong. Just to clarify things.
Even though I felt basically everything is said, i feel the need to reply to this. Sorry for having to break my promise.
Well, thanks for your thoughts on this.
I must say, that i agree but also disagree.
I agree that the overusage (or misuse) of sanitizing liquids literally kills one's immune-system. This goes for germs and bacteria your body knows how to handle.
But if I tell this to a southamerican native from amazone rainforest like e.g. the yanomani whose tribe and fellow tribes have nearly been eradicated by european flu which their body was impossible to handle,
he would probably punch me in my face for saying that.
And this is not only recently. As we all know the Americas have been very populated, even way before europeans arrived.
So nevertheless i think there still are germs out there, that you're body doesn't know how to deal with, therefore i still stand by what i said:
Prevention's better than curing.

Sorry for the derailing from rubber cleaners though.
BTW: Thanks for your vid, Bobpuls.
That tackiness Test is quite impressive. I couldn't do that with my H3Neo.
I was also surprised that the H8 is even more tacky than the TG2.
I always thought it was the other way around.
Thanks for enlightening.
For those who do not have sweat from Der_Echte , here is video how i`m doing it
and you will have tackiness like hell
and i have forgot...
NEWER USE SOAP or anything like it onto a rubber ...
i have destroyed my first H3 this way .. the rubber gets absolutely dry and hard like stone, it will lose tackiness and it will crackle after three months of cleaning it this way.
