Snooker Billiard and Pool Tables, Care Instructions
To keep Snooker, Billiards and Pool Tables in good condition you need some simple maintenance now and again.
Firstly obtain a table brush as this is an essential piece of snooker and pool table equipment. On snooker/billiards tables always brush with the nap of the table, which run from the baulk or D end to the black spot end. This is not so important with pool tables as they do not have a nap. Start with your brush at the D end and continue up the table to the black spot end of your snooker or billiards table.
Brush in straight lines, then all the debris will collect at the top cushion, which can then be brushed towards one of the top pockets and away from the table.
Clean the wood with a damp cloth as the wood varnish is usually very hard this is all that is required. If you want to use spray polish, spray the duster first then apply to the wood, so as not to get spray on the cloth.
A vacuum cleaner can be used but must be on a mild suction setting with a fine brush attachment. Vacuum the table from the D to the black spot as in brushing.
For stains on the cloth, use a felt foam cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto the table and brush off with a cloth, again in same direction as for brushing.
To give snooker and billiards tables that pristine look, iron the table with special irons made for the purpose. The table iron is an essential piece of snooker table equipment. There are two types of snooker table irons one of which is thermostatically controlled. Smooth the cloth with the iron once again starting from the D to the black spot. Also be careful of the rubber cushions.
When the colours are put back on the table, roll the ball back onto the spot. This prevents the ball putting a dent in the cloth. The table should always be covered when not in use so as to prevent the cloth from fading and getting dusty.
