A well-maintained pool table can last for decades.
Discover our expert tips to protect your investment and keep your table in perfect condition.
Your pool table is a premium piece of furniture that deserves proper care. Here are five essential tips to help maintain its performance and appearance for years to come.
1. Clean the Cloth Regularly
Use a brush specifically designed for billiard cloth and always brush in the same direction. Avoid using a vacuum cleaner, as it can damage the fibers.
Recommended frequency: after every intensive playing session.
2. Keep Your Balls Clean
Clean your billiard balls with a damp microfiber cloth. For heavily soiled balls, use a specialized cleaner such as Aramith Ball Cleaner.
3. Protect the Table from Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight can fade the cloth and warp the wood over time. Position your table away from prolonged sun exposure whenever possible.
4. Maintain Stable Humidity Levels
The ideal humidity range is between 40% and 60%.
- Too dry: the wood may crack.
- Too humid: the cloth can swell and lose its playing quality.
5. Use a Protective Cover
When your table is not in use, cover it with a protective table cover. This helps prevent dust accumulation and accidental scratches.
Bonus Tip
Have your billiard cloth professionally replaced every 2–3 years to maintain optimal playing conditions and performance.
