Cleaning a Pool Table
Has anyone seen this? I watched it out of curiosity? I cringed throughout most of it.

Cleaning a pool table?

I cringed also.
No spills on my cloth for sure.
I clean it pretty often.
Handheld vacuum thoroughly.
Wet white terrycloth hand towel well wrung out.
Amazing how much chalk comes up in the vacuum reservoir.
Amazing how blue the wet cloth gets even after vacuuming.
A pool table can never really get clean.
Chalk is invasive.

I like to keep my table uncovered so that I can admire it and take a few shots whenever I walk past. The vinyl table cover also trained my wife's cat that the table is the perfect place for claw sharpening. She destroyed the covers but, like I said, I want it uncovered.
The clawing I stopped by building the perfect cat scratch pad with a 1'x2' board covered in a parted out foam yoga mat, recovered often.
The latest is she tracked mud onto my Simonis and puked a nice puddle on the table. I removed the solids and brushed the area after it dried but I still have faded paw tracks and a puddle outline. I will wipe down with Windex and a damp microfiber cloth but seriously, I am shopping for a steam cleaner.

I came home after a session and decided to wash my pool glove after 4 hours of play. The water turned dark blue.
Exactly how I clean my table....................
I have one of those robot vacuums that I run once a week on the table. That picks up a lot of chalk residue. Then about once a month I vacuum it really good with a wand attachment on my regular vac. Then once I get all the chalk I can out of it, I get a really hot bucket of water, add a small splash of woollite and wipe down the table with a microfiber cloth that is dipped in the water and wrung out really good.
Then I wipe out the all the pockets and ball return area. If I am really feeling adventurous I get a swiffer and run it inside the table where ever I can get it to reach.
I wipe my balls once a week with a dry microfiber towel, run them through my homemade bucket washer with a TINY amount of polish when I deep clean the table once a month.
PS -- Diamond Pro Am table with Simonis 860 cloth.

I like the hell out of that video! If everyone would clean their pool table like that at least once a year, that would promote more business for me
You’re like a lawyer. You benefit from everyone’s Fk upsI like the hell out of that video! If everyone would clean their pool table like that at least once a year, that would promote more business for me
Everyone hate Lawyers until they need one.
Then the Lawyer become a Hero.
The Video made me sick.
. Had this vision of seeing a Disaster.
"In this next video we will show you how to suck all of the chalk dust that has fallen to the slate back up thru your shag carpeting" (why is the table covered in shag anyway?)
Why is it that cats are always barfing something up anyway?? One day (almost everyday) one of my wifes cats was making barfing sounds in the kitchen, in a flash of genius I grabbed a paper plate and put it on the floor under the cats face, easy clean up, right?? The fricken cat ran away and barfed on the carpeting !!!!!
Cats will sit in the middle of the floor looking at you while they make these barfing sounds, Im starting to think they are punishing me for something. They are like "hey, watch me, I'm going to soil your freshly cleaned carpet with my partially digested breakfast, next time I want fresh tuna and chicken you will serve me fresh tuna and chicken, BLAH!!! take that, human".

Cats, like children, were a curse made to punish humans for past misdeeds. How else can you explain the fact that no matter how well you try to raise kids they just keep doing the same mistakes you did, that your parents in turn tried to keep you from making. As bad as that lady that was cursed with knowing the future but that no-one would believe her. Cats are the same way, they just do their own thing. I went to SBE and when I got home I had 3 puke areas to clean up, one right on the bed on new sheets.

You would be wrong, most people still hate them even when they need them
A buddy used to have a t-shirt that read "Cat, the Other White Meat". Pissed-off his cat-loving o'l lady to no end.
That's a good point and I used was on my table. Other people use bondo and I'm pretty sure the steam isn't good for that either.
I keep my table really clean but there's times I used my shop-vac with the rinse & vac attachment.
Made darn sure not to raise the cloth off the table and not get water under the rails. It's rare the under side of the cushions get dirty.
Used half the amount of soap called for, out of safety concerns.
I did need to iron the cloth once it dried completely, as this pictured table so badly needs.

Mothers against drunk drivers, the Pope is against the pill
The unions against the workers working against their will
The Presidents against the Congress, the Senate is against the House
People are against politicians and I'm against cats in the house…
