But don’t worry - there are ways to avoid this common problem. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can keep your griptape looking fresh and new for longer. So let’s get started - no more clean griptape ruining for you!
How Do You Clean Griptape Without Ruining It? [Solved]
Hey there! To get your skateboard or longboard grip tape looking like new, we use a fine brass wire brush that’s only about 50 cents at the local hardware store. The steel brush is good too, but it has stiffer bristles.
Remove Loose Debris: Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush to remove any loose dirt, dust, and debris from the griptape.
Clean with Soap and Water: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl or bucket. Dip a soft cloth into the mixture and wring it out until it is damp but not dripping wet. Gently scrub the griptape with the cloth in circular motions until all dirt and grime is removed.
Rinse with Clean Water: Rinse off the soap residue by wiping down the griptape with a damp cloth soaked in clean water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly so that no soap residue remains on the surface of the griptape.
Dry Completely: Allow your board to air dry completely before applying new grip tape or riding it again to prevent any damage from moisture buildup on your board’s components or bearings
Ugh, that’s the worst! Clean griptape ruining is such a bummer. It’s like you just got your board all set up and ready to go, but then you realize the griptape is ruined. It’s so annoying! You can try to clean it off, but it usually doesn’t work. The only thing left to do is get a new piece of griptape and start over. Oh well, at least you know for next time!
