I noticed on a previous thread someone
warned against using warm/hot water on
billiard balls. Why?
Does anyone else know of any reason to
avoid warm water and dish soap other than
needing to be polished afterwards?

What's the best way to clean them?
I clean my extra cueballs with toothpaste, but I wouldn't put that stuff in my mouth.
When I was cleaning tables/balls at the local pool room in exchange for free table time, I would run the balls through their commercial dishwasher, then follow that up with a trip into the 5 gallon ball polisher. Worked great.
Call me dumb, I deserve it, but I ran my Centennials through my non-commercial dishwasher and ruined them. Colors faded terribly. It's been a long time, but I'm sure I must have used the dishwasher detergent - Cascade probably.

hiya paul, started in the kitchen sink with hot water, liquid bleach and dish detergent.
let the ball set soak until all previous wax and polish removed.
washed again a 2nd time with hot water and dish detergent.
threw them onto old bedding linen to absorb water and dry.
gave a quik rub with a previously used furniture polish rag.
that's it
