I've searched older posts, looked at the Simonis website, got some good but conflicting info, just looking for more up to date info...
I heard vacuuming is bad for the cloth, that it pulls small particles of chalk that are resting between the cloth and the bed of the table back up into the felt in the small holes in the pattern of the cloth etc.
I've been neglectful in cleaning my table since I got it, but hasn't been that much play yet so not horrible. I have a small $30 wet-dry vac (that some people mentioned), tons of microfiber towels, a traditional pool brush, and a can of Chalk-off.
I'm not sure what to do first, in what order, or how often. So what's the best method of keeping cloth clean? Can I just brush and use a slightly damp cloth weekly or every so many hours of play? Does vacuuming actually help or hurt? Is Chalk-off any good (simulating the damp cloth I would suspect)? And, brush or vacuum before wiping, after, ???
Thanks,
Scott
