Hey, don’t let your pool table love die out! You never know when the Pope will be dropping by to shoot some stick, and for occasions like these you want your table in pristine playing condition. Ok Maybe not the pope, but it sure is embarrassing when your pool table is turning your game into joke in front of friends (Insert mocking laughter here, Ha!).
So, I’ll let you in on seven small cleaning steps that if carried out regularly (best if right after your playing session) will keep your pool table in optimal playing condition; so everyone will be begging to come over to play on your beloved table.
1. All Balls Out
Take the balls out of the pockets and give them a wipe down with a cloth that is preferably 100% cotton. Put them away in there holding unit where they’re not going to be exposed to dust.
Having clean balls let’s them roll freer without the interference of dirt; plus you save any further transference of dust and dirt from the balls to the table.
2. Clean the Hanging Lights.
If you decked out your pool table room with a cool hanging light, then dust it off with a damp rag.
This little tip will save your table from dropping debris in the case someone clumsy taps it with their stick in all the excitement.
3. Now the Railings
Get the railings next with a dry rag, pushing all dust and debris onto the ground. This can be swept up later or vacuumed
4. Now the Table Surface
The most important part, the table felt. Take your pool brush ( you do have one, don’t you? ) and brush the debris and dust towards the corner pockets. I like to work the table in four sections and really do a good sweep.
5. Pocket Clean
With the dust flying through the pockets, you’ll want to take a damp rag and wipe up the inside and outside well; get all the debris.
6. Polish the Wood
This is more of an optional step, and only really needs to be carried out every other week or once a month. Use a good wood polisher to retain and beautify its finish; Trust me, it looks real slick afterwards.
I recommend using polish that’s made of natural oils and is eco friendly – check out “Earth Frindly Olive and Orange Oil Furniture Polish”
7. Shields Up
Because your pool table’s felt is sensitive to sitting dust, cover it up with a pool table cover so that its exposure is minimized.
There you have it! Seven steps that keep your pool table fresh and clean, so your 8ball shot to the corner pocket is smooth like butter.
