Hi Adham i've got one question: Are all the cleaners forbidden? Because my coach said that an I'm not sure abut that

Cleaners are not forbidden unless they alter the characteristics of the rubber. However, at the ITTF level events, we ask the players not to use cleaners and preferably use water. The reason is that some players after using cleaners have failed the racket control tests. This is probably because the cleaners have some VOCs or some rapidly evaporating agents that cause the testing equipment to detect and signal a failed racket. Actually I always recommended to my players to use water instead. Also some alcohol based cleaners may have the tendency to dry up the rubber surface (you will see some very fine cracks). But if you do want to use a cleaner, make sure it does not contain any VOCs and let the racket air sufficiently.
