    Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions

    I have been working on Kyocera for the last five & 1/2 years .... and where I work, 99.5 % of the time we use WATER ( just plain water ) .
    It works great on feed / sep / retard rollers, charge rollers , etc , and does not offend customers or eat plastic!
    We also on occasion use 99% alcohol to get ink, etc, off covers when regular soap and a scrungy pad do not work .
    "The Serenity Prayer" . . .
    God grant me the serenity to accept stupid people , the courage to not waste my time and energy on them , and the wisdom to know that I cannot fix STUPID .

    Registration and transport rollers, citrus solvent from Image Supply Service. Won't melt plastic on contact.

    Feed rollers, simple spit and rub to get the paper dust and toner off. Organic, spread by finger, no cost chemical, acid based and spread by oils from fingers. If they don't have a tread, replace them.
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

    In the past I always used Formula A from Xerox, now I am using Denatured alcohol 96% with acetone with good results.
    Denatured alcohol with acetone, really!? Acetone can seriously #$%! your world in an instant if you are not careful... Unless you are buying it mixed together with denatured alcohol or something [do the two even mix well?] I would rarely recommend using it straight.

    WD40 and 91% alcohol is what I use.

    We used to use rubber rejuvenator designed for printing press blankets (forget the name), but after a number of years, we concluded that it was far too abrasive for most uses (as well as the stink and you really had to put some time into rubbing...including clean-up).

    Hi Synaux,

    Yes i buy it locally, already mixed.
    You can use it straight from the container, i've been using it for years now. Good for cleaning covers an platen glass also, and smells good too!
    The product you mean is "Blanked Wash", we use it too sometimes when more aggressive cleaning is needed, and you are right about the stink.Good ventilation is needed.

    The best rubber rejuvenator is... soap and water or just replace the part if you can. I tried a couple of options which always ended up biting me in the ass.

    As long as we are talking about cleaners, anybody have a take on "Mr. Clean" Magic Erasers (http://www.mrclean.com/en_US/magic-eraser.do)? We use them mainly to remove caked on toner from developer (mag) rollers during a developer change, but they seem to work nicely in other applications, too.
