Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Chalk Off and Quick Clean? or is there any?

and can anyone tell me if there is a website/store that i can order Chalk Off, Aramith Ball Cleaner, and a micro-fiber towel at the same time? i dont mean the little Aramith towel, its too small. i want the bigger towel.

I used Chalk Off and the only thing I can say is the stuff leaves stains. It does not always come out in a nice spray and when you get a "chunk" of the stuff, it will leave a mark. I have gone to a wet towel to remove chalk and it works fine.
 
Do an AZ search.. There were many threads about this several years back.. From what I remember, Quick Clean was first and created by David Hodge, if I remember quickly..

Chalk off came along, but there were some issues between the 2 manufacturers?? Hell, I can't say exact.. It was said that the Quick Clean guy got screwed somehow??

I have only used Quick Clean and it works great, just too expensive. I have not used it for a few years now but it was a good product IMHO..
 
Simonis X-1 Pool Table Cloth Cleaner

I have used both and agree with all that was said in the previous post. I just purchased Simonis X-1 Pool Table Cloth Cleaner 3 weeks ago and I am very happy with it.

Don't put any liquid on your cloth except maybe the dampness of a clean, damp cloth. Vacuum your table. Chalk is ground-up sand. You have to pull that sand out of the fibers.

I received the x-1 as a gift and have found that it works as well. I used Quickclean for a couple of years and I am glad to have found a chemical free replacement. That stuff was noxious!

Quick Clean was the original, created by David Hodges... Chalk-Off was a knock off attempt at the product using a similar formula that does not work as well, and as from what I have been told, is a carcinogen which can be very bad for anyone using the product...

I have seen a version of the packaging for Chalk-Off, and it was a knock-off of the packaging design for QuickClean. This I know because I was hired to design the packaging design for Quick-Clean. It may be different now, as I believe there have been some lawsuits filed (not completely sure about the lawsuits, as I am not directly involved on either side)

I will try to reach out to David Hodges and see if he can answer some questions here for you...
 
Hey a chalk-off sounds like a great idea. Maybe one of the chalk makers can organize one. I would love to be able to compare different grits before buying.

Thanks for the advice Bob. I just bought a can of Quick Clean but dont use it that much. i think its a good thing to have to go over your table with every so often. i use a damp towel also at times.

I can't buy into spraying anything on the bed cloth. Nothing more than a little suction is needed to get the chalk out of the carpet and I just can't help but think that anything will leave at least some residue that over time will just attract more dirt, chalk, and dust.

True, but i thought that Micro-Fiber brush is supposed to lift the stuff out. i think this is a good thing to get stuff off the top, but the chalk dust that gets down into the cloth is probably a different story.

Try Woolite

I've used both Quick Clean and "Woolite 835 Foaming Fabric & Upholstery Cleaner". I can't tell the difference, but Woolite is cheap!
