Though it pays to have a high-class billiards table in your own
game room, having one at your disposal doesn't come with just perks. If you weren't
born to Bill Gates's riches—or to a number of home servants for that matter—you
also have to maintain it yourself. As with anything you own, maintaining a
billiards table is a commitment.
The first thing you should do is acquire all items
you will need to regularly clean your table. You must have a pool table brush, a
vacuum cleaner with a thin nozzle, a pool table cleaning solution, and wood
polish. If you have all these in hand, you're set to do the following:
·
Clean out the pockets. Take out the
balls from the pockets of your table and give them a good cleaning by wiping
them with warm water and a soft cloth. Vacuum the pockets to keep them from
accumulating dirt.
·
Brush it up. Choose the right kind of brush
fit for felt table tops. This usually consists of bristles in two lengths:
longer at the edges and shorter in the middle. Use this after ending every playing
session to remove any foreign contaminants that made their way into the game area.
·
Polish. Aside from making the wooden parts of the table
squeaky clean, polish them to remove possible irritants that can migrate to the
table top. Find a good wood polish or citrus-based solution to do this.
