Would any of you recommend buying the rubber cleaning spray? Is there a free way to clean the rubbers?

I am no pro at table tennis. But after the purchase of some decent paddles, it is well worth it. The paddles came tacky on the rubbers and the dirt/dust from playing transfers from the ball to your paddle. The cleaner will restore your paddle to it's original feel. This makes your shot more reliable to spin/hit the same way all the time. Hope that helps!

You may use just cheapest grey soap instead of spray as I do, however spay may be more 'sophisticated' way of doing the same

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

nope. the dirt is almost absorbed into the rubber, it becomes really disgusting looking. it keeps its color for about 48 hours. Seriously i dont know why this is even on the website anymore it is not worth $0.01. Worst thing i have ever purchased.

You don't have to but it's best to use a cleaning spray that they sell here.

Should be easy. It is a hard plastic. I don't see any reason you'd have a problem cleaning it.

I would try a deferent nozzle. Dilimonene is a real good cleaner. It shouldn't harm it might gum it up over time. I use mine for carb cleaner and brake cleaners. Only problem I've had is the shrader air valve seal sticking.

It will not leave a residue on rubber, but will on paints. If you are careful when applying to the rubber seals and then gently wipe the paint around the seals afterwards with a towel there will be no residue. I highly recommend this product!

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have never had the need to use any kind of cleaner when using this brush/rubber tip. It works so well getting the dirt/dust etc off. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Did you purchase this cleaner, and if so does it work well on your tile pool? I just bought a Pool Cleaner by hayward and the rubber tires get no traction on the tile. Feeling pretty frustrated.

I don't recall my can clogging...perhaps residue has built up in the nozzle?If it can't be cleaned, I'd contact Easy Off or Amazon about a free replacement can.

I was told by the Mityvac rep that if you are planning on using it for simply oil, all the time, that there is no need to clean it, other than emptying it, as the bit of oil left behind will keep the rubber seals moist. Now if you are planning on using it for several different fluid removal that the easiest way to clean it was to put the same kind of goop type hand cleaner used when you are dealing with your oily dirty hands. Put a bit in a cup diluted with water and vacuum it up with the Mityvac. I hope that works; I didn't clean mine since I plan on using it for motor/boat oil at all times; I just emptied it back on the same quarts and took the old oil to a recycle place near by.

i haven't had any problem with this. As an FYI DON'T use the Bissell cleaning solution stuff. It WILL plug up the sprayers and something in it's innards. I was able to unclog the sprayers but the the innards had to be fixed by a pro. I am now using an organic alcohol based cleaning solution that is working very well. I don't know if this would void any warranty you may have.

Hi Roger - could be several reasons.. chlorine level, the suction strength, and, the type of stuff it's picking up, etc. Seems to me that little twigs and even tiny pebbles will shorten the life, as they slowly rub against and wear down the rubber. It is unusual, though for just a 90 day life. How do you clear it out when stuff gets stuck in there, assuming this happens once in a while?

I washed it in my washing machine, let it soak a bit to try to get out the strong rubber odor. Then I let it air dry. It helped a lot!

If you want it to stay squeaky clean you will have to buy more cleaner. I rarely clean mine and it works just fine. The mineral deposits on them do not keep them from working. I do rinse mine out each time and much of the residue just flakes out when it has built up to a certain point.

its the rubber and anything that sticks to it. I cleaned mine with baking soda
