Product Information

Full details

The Butterfly Clean Care Sponge is an essential maintenance tool designed for table tennis players who want to extend the lifespan and performance of their racket rubbers. This high-quality sponge is specifically engineered to remove dust and debris from rubber surfaces, ensuring optimal grip during play. While it is highly effective at maintaining tackiness, players should note that it requires a dedicated rubber cleaning solution to provide the best results, as the sponge alone is designed for application rather than deep chemical cleaning.

How often should I replace the sponge?

Is the storage cup airtight?

Yes, the sealable cup is designed to be airtight to protect the sponge from dust and drying out.

Can I wash the sponge in a washing machine?

No, it is recommended to wash the sponge by hand to preserve the integrity of the specialized material.

Troubleshooting

The sponge has become stiff or brittle.

Rinse the sponge under warm running water and gently squeeze it to release accumulated cleaner residues, then let it air dry.

The sponge leaves streaks on the rubber.

You may be using too much cleaning liquid; apply a smaller amount and ensure you are using a clean side of the sponge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the sponge, simply remove it from the provided cup. There is no complex setup required. This sponge is compatible with all brands of table tennis rubber, including inverted, short pips, and long pips configurations. To care for your sponge, rinse it thoroughly with cool water once it becomes discolored or stiff from cleaner buildup. Always allow the sponge to air dry completely before placing it back into the sealable cup to prevent mold growth or odors. Do not use harsh detergents or chemical solvents to clean the sponge itself, as these may leave residues that could damage your racket rubber during future use.
