How do you clean your rubbers after play. Till now I only use warm water.
Carl talks like I would revive Jimmy Kimmle ratings !!??
One wipe across my sweaty shirt, a couple rubs with my hand, then wave bat around. VOILA you are done like a dog's dinner... and you bat could stink enough to ward off both the Goon Squad and big bad Mr Clean with him bald head.

I've been biting my tongue for a minute, but just can't hold myself back any longer.

Though i really agree on many posts, and appreciate the shared information, but this here is just too ridiculous, although i'm not quite sure if you're being serious here.
Took a minute to think about it, but the only reasons that come to my mind why someone would mistreat his rubbers that way is either if he gets the rubbers for free or if he uses real cheapoz like 729s or 2008xp.
Why not just pour vinegar or some other even stronger acid liquid over it?
Same goes for tap water. Especially in some places in the states, where poisoneous chemicals like chlorine or fluorides are added. I'm quite sure you know this already, but in fracking areas the tap water burns literally!
Demineralized water might not do as much harm, but it also does nothing against fats, as already mentioned before.
It neither seems to be very economic nor very efficient to spend 70$ per sheet and another hundred Dollar on a blade and then be too stingy to spend 3 more bucks on some cleaner. But that might just be me. Especially since most tabletennis companies ain't no big corporations but rather family owned businesses. But that's another story.
One bottle of cleaner lasts at least a year.
My rubbers last up to 9 months by using cleaner and plastic covers. I really wonder how many can say the same.
I used to use this about 3 years ago (there's still some left inside)
Suga D, you just need to have tried one of those 2-3 year old Tibhar Aurus rubbers Der used to use. The only reasonable explanation for how they played better than new after 2+ years of abuse from the original Rambo looper, is that there must be some secret ingredient or magical substance in Der's sweat. Nothing else can explain the extra grip and catapult with the added control. Rumor has it that the CNT is planning to bottle this substance as one of their new secret weapons.

If I use rubber that long, then I either don't play enough, use Chinese rubbers or my loop is a piece of trash. It's obvious I usually don't hold my tongue.
If you use rubbers for a long time and have a good loop, you just do. Rubber care doesn't justify it.
Well, it somehow does in my book. Personally it´s none of my business if someone treats his equipment like used toilet paper and maybe i´ve been taking it too seriously, but from my personal experience
MAINTENANCE IS THE KEY TO DURABILITY AND LONGEVITY

PLUS there is a german phrase, which i´ve been taught as a little kid which would be translated as the following.
A CRAFTSMAN IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS TOOLS ARE
i think in english it´s called: "A bad craftsman always blames his tools", but this doesn´t really literally mean the same.
Basically you can use a spoon as well as a knife for a wood carving job, but the results and the working time might vary a little.

From a jugaado´s perspective it might be totally fine using a spoon, if you have nothing else, but if you do have something better it´s blatantly stiff necked to stick to the spoon, just ´cause you´re used to it.
But to each his own...
P.S. How trashy my loops are or are not, we´ll probably never know, since i´m not so extroverted, to post every little playing development of mine on YouTube. But maybe if i ever join your guys "NYC Adventures" you might find out one day...
