Pool tables can be expensive so you will want to do everything you can to keep them in great shape and well maintained, ensuring that they will last you a long time and many years of great fun. If you do not take care of them, they will more likely fall apart far sooner than you expect, and that is something you definitely do not want.

When keeping the table cloth maintained and clean, first you want to identify the direction of the grain. When ironing, brushing, or wiping the cloth, you will want to always go in the direction of the grain.

When brushing the cloth of the table, you really do not need to do this more than once every two weeks, or you could just do it once a month to keep the cloth clean and maintained. When brushing always go with the grain of the cloth, going against the grain can damage it and wear it out quicker.

When you need to vacuum the cloth on the table, again you want to go with the grain of the cloth. Use the vacuum cleaner on the lowest suction setting, and never use any attachments from the vacuum to clean the cloth, this may tear and damage the cloth.

When it is time to iron the pool table cloth, iron along with the grain with the iron heat setting on low to medium and do not use the steam option. Never iron the cloth on the railings; this will only damage the wood. Concentrate only on the flat surface of the pool table cloth.

To keep the wood in excellent shape use a high quality wood polish and only polish the wood about every three months, any more than that will be unnecessary and just will make the wood look dull because of wood polish buildup.

To keep the leather sections of the table clean and well maintained, apply leather polish about every six to seven months. Make sure that you only apply leather polish to the sections of leather that do not come into contact with the billiard balls, for instance in the pockets where the billiard balls fall.

To help keep the table clean when not in use, always place the pool table cover over the table. This will keep dirt, dust, liquid, and any other substances away from the table that can damage it. This is especially important for the tables that are in high traffic areas in your home, and when you have children around. You never know when someone will accidentally spill a drink or drop food onto the pool table and that would be hard to remove. Prevention is always a good way to go to keeping pool tables clean.

So to ensure that your pool table will last for many years to come, follow these simple rules for maintaining your pool table. Always take the greatest care when using the pool table and when you store it when not in use.
