Dirty cloth sends balls off line and wears fast. Three simple habits double the life of the nap.
The cloth is the part that touches the balls directly and wears fastest on a billiard table. Correct care extends its life considerably.
1. Brush in one direction
Always brush from the head of the table towards the foot in a single direction, never back and forth.
2. Vacuum regularly
Use a soft-headed vacuum on low suction, once a week for commercial tables.
3. Always cover the table when idle
Dust and direct sunlight are the two fastest causes of fading and fibre lifting.
