If you have anything from a mid-range recreational paddle to a high-end professional paddle, you will need to clean your paddle's rubber if you care at all about your investment's efficacy (in applying spin to your shots) lasting. The two components that make up this package are a great way of doing just that. Washing your paddle down with water in a sink to remove the dirt, grease, and oil can only do so much, exactly like how rinsing oily peanut-butter stains from a dining plate with merely water is a lost cause. The foam (which does a massively better job than merely water) comes out of the container explosively quickly, so ration it onto your paddle's surfaces with utmost caution. The sponge is also a well-made utensil in doing the needed scrubbing, in addition to its ability to dry your paddle to some extent.
However, the Butterfly Rushawa Table Tennis Racket Care Kit is way overpriced at $21. If you buy the sponge and the foam cleaner separately elsewhere, together the price is $13.50 instead.

I play for a couple hours every week day with a Carlos Chiu Butterfly paddle. The paddle when new was incredible, the spins and the speed were beyond what any of my opponents have ever seen. As time went on, with constant cleaning using this product, the paddle has remained FAR stickier than any of my opponents more expensive paddles. For a small $20 investment, I would say it’s a small price to pay to double the life of your paddle’s spin an control, and keep that winning edge .
