I'm curious what most people use for looking after their rubbers.

Please vote in the poll, you can vote up to 3 products that you use most often. I hope I've covered all the main ones.

I use the sweat from my shirt. yes, I wipe it on my shirt and then anywhere dry, if anywhere is dry, if not, then a towel, if that is wet, someone else's towel that happens to be dry.

I have no trouble cleaning it with just a sponge and water as long as you do it regularly...a foam cleaner every so often.

Used water based cleaner but after some considerations I use my sweat and sometimes mineral water.

Until recently i would have said water only, what else do you need? But i bought some andro free cleaner, and am convinced that it is extending the life of my tensor rubbers; my pme is into its fourth month and performing well, unheard of in my experience....

I use water mostly. But once in a while, I would use dishwashing liquid to give it a good clean.

True or false, as a junior i was advised not to use washing up liquid as it is too abrasive, containing salt.

I also use the adhesive protection sheets/foils as they keep the topsheet lint and muck free until i play then I clean the rubber with water/foam or spinmax (if its an older sheet) before play and water or foam afterwards let it dry and then apply the protective sheet.

This has helped me really extend the life of the rubbers.
