On items around the house like rubber torches there is the problem that with the passage of time the rubber goes unpleasantly sticky and a normal reaction is to want to bin the item. But the advice from various sources online is to use cleaning materials to simply clean the rubber. And I find it starts to work but cleaning sticky rubber is hard work.
On the Rover 75 CDTi my large air intake intercooler pipes had gone unpleasant as if needing to be renew, but I used white spirit and a kitchen scourer sponge and although it takes a few attempts, it seems to work. The rubber cleans up. What is left underneath is strong clean rubber pipe.
