Knowing how to clean a pool table is important and not difficult to learn. The wooden supporting structure can be maintained like any other piece of fine furniture. Any visible dirt or spills should be wiped off immediately with a clean, barely damp cloth.
Periodically, polish the wood with a citrus-based polish. The frequency with which you need to do this will vary depending on how heavily used the table is. Always follow the label directions for the polish that you choose.
Cleaning the wooden components of your table is easy, but a little more time is required to learn how to clean pool table felt. The surface of the table becomes soiled with dirt, dust, and chalk over time and all of this is ground into the felt by the pressure of the balls.
For the typical recreational pool player, the table should be brushed and vacuumed at least once a week. The more you play, the more often you should clean the table. Soiled felt is not only unattractive, but the dirt can cause the balls to roll in unexpected ways and can even wear away their surfaces.
To keep your pool table felt from being the victim of water and oil based stains, use 303® Stain Guard. This product will help repel any moisture that gets spilled on the surface and will help other spills or stains (such as soda or juice) clean up easier. Just make sure to treat the table in a well-ventilated area, and let dry 6-12 hours after using the product before using the table.
If you own a pool table, you need to know how to clean a pool table, but preventing soiling and spills in the first place is an important step in extending the life of your table. It is wise to invest in a cover for the times you are not using your table. A cover protects the surface against dust and damage and prevents sunlight from fading the cloth.
When you are playing, have a rule that there is no eating or drinking at the table. Provide a small table to the side for drinks and dishes.
If you enjoy playing pool, you will want to play on a surface that performs well. Knowing how to clean pool table felt, the wooden frame, and the balls will enable you to set your own standards for cleanliness and quality.
