Pool Table Maintenance
QUICK TIPS FOR POOL TABLE MAINTENANCE
- Brush cloth in the direction of the nap when needed with a proper pool table brush, such as the one that came with your table.
- Vacuum the cloth in the direction of the nap when needed. Suction only - no brush or agitator head!
- Iron bed cloth only (no rails) in the direction of nap the first seven times it has been brushed or vacuumed, then every 6 months. (Set on medium: no steam).
- You will get about 3 years more life out of the cloth and immediately get better performance if you brush and vacuum the cloth correctly.
- Use the cover to protect the top as well as the sides.
- See below for leather maintenance.
Caring For Your Table
A little care assures the finest performance and appearance for a lifetime. This can help your billiards table to
become a family treasure for generations to come.
Your table is probably made of beautiful woods. These parts of your table require the same care and
feeding as any good furniture. Use good furniture oil or polish on lacquered surfaces. On oil finishes
a final coat of Johnson's Trewax should be applied and buffed off after drying. These measures of care
are usually performed annually with light dusting done periodically between the above care programs.
Now a word about your leather pockets. The tanning process used on all leather is hard on leather. The tanning
dries out the leather enough so that without a little attention, its life will be shortened.
There are many fine leather conditioning products on the market. Oil type products replace the natural
oils in leather and in time make leather much more supple and extend its life to several lifetimes of
the product in its untouched new state. Simply work the conditioner into all the external parts of the
pockets (where the ball does NOT touch the pocket) and allow it to stay on the leather; it will eventually
be absorbed into the leather. Do it again in six months and again in another 6 months. A year from now you
will really notice the difference.
