I’m new at posting but when things hit close to home I need to speak out.

I bought chalk off because of the Simonis commercial, in the video on the link above, it looks like Simonis recommends Chalk Off to clean their cloth. Paste this link to your browser and then advance it to 18 minutes to see the commercial. After cleaning my table with Chalk Off it left my table sticky and the fibers on the cloth looked as if they were raised. After repeated efforts to contact Billiard Club Network, where I bought the product, I finally had to contact Simonis. And here is the response.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Simonis does not endorse any chemical cloth cleaner and the commercial that you saw must have been a commercial for the Chalk-Off product as Simonis does not have any video ads running at this time and we have never had commercials endorsing cleaners of any kind.
We had our labs test a product called Quick Clean a couple of years ago and the official word from the lab is that is does not harm the cloth. This is probably as close to an actual endorsement that we have made for any chemical cleaning product. I have also heard that the Quick Clean product works pretty well, although I do not have first-hand experience with it.
As to what will rectify the situation that you have described with your table and the residue that may be on it, I do not have any solid recommendation for you. I would wipe the cloth with a slightly damp terrycloth towel, allow it to dry completely and then brush the table. Hopefully this will remove the residue that you mention.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Hopefully there is good news. Not wanting to wet my table I contacted Quick Clean and they assured me their product will remove the stickiness and repair the fibers of the cloth. Mr. Hodges said that he had numerous complaints about Chalk Off and knows first hand that his product will clean up the mess. He gave me a money back guarantee. We shall see.
It looks as if this Rob Sykora guy doesn’t mind using other people’s commercials to deceive and trick the public into buying his inferior products. I don’t understand how such a dishonest person stays in business. After ripping off Quick Clean it looks like he is now going for Somonis. Who will be next?

i am aware of rob's scam attempts in the past. what is this guys deal? is it so hard to run a legitimate business without stealing sponsorships or other peoples ideas (quick clean). i saw the advertisement with simonis advertising chalk off, it's still out there if you click the web address in the first thread and scan to 18 minutes. i hope simonis is planning to take action against this crook, i mean rob. it doesn't look good on simonis' part to appear to support a product that is not only harmful to someone's health but will damage pool table cloth also. well, i'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around so hopefully rob will get what's comming for him.
