If i apply rubbing alcohol to a ping pong paddle will it eat away at the rubber?

Posted on March 11, 2010 by admin

I want to sterylize a ping pong paddle(dont ask why) and i was wondering if rubbing alcohol would be the best route. Anyone have a better suggestion?

Rubbing alcohol will dry the rubber. Instead, try using Lysol. Dilute and use according to the package directions. Good luck!

    Rubbing alcohol is a good choice. Bleach would probably eat away at the rubber. Peroxide my take out the color. They’re pretty cheap, though. Why don’t you just buy a new one?

    if you rub for about 20 mins and smell burning rubber then you have your answer
