Owning a home pool table is one of the greatest American dreams. Billiards is a complex, and fun, game and we sometimes tend to forget about the fine furniture aspect of a pool table. There are a few considerations to keep in mind in order to maintain their heirloom treasure and keep, not only the table but the other components involved, in top notch playing condition. It also helps preserve precious cloth and cushion life.
There are a few items to maintain that should never be over looked:
-Pool table cloth cleaning is of the utmost importance. Not only will it give your pool table a great clean look, but it will also keep chalk and dust from collecting underneath that can quickly wear down even the most expensive pool table fabric on the market. Brushing in one direction or vacuuming the fabric are both very good techniques to clean cloth. There is also specialty cleaners specifically designed to clean billiard fabric.
-Table covering can typically help keep the cloth clean, but it also serves other purposes. Sun damage is a huge contributor to causing rubber cushions to go dead and also fading to the cloth and the rails. Direct sunlight can destroy any pool table within months if not covered. Always keep your table covered when not in use.
-Wipe down the table. While oils and waxes aren’t recommended due to potential cloth transfer stains, it does wonders to wipe down the entire table once in a while. Give your investment the treatment it deserves!
Most of these things can be done right after you are done playing for the day. Do these things and you will not only extend the life of the pool table and parts, but keep your table looking exactly the way it did when you bought it.
