Darkening spots on new simonis

[chriss2020]

Hi,

I just had new Simonis 860 slate grey cloth installed on a new GCVI table. I noticed this more prominent dark spot on the cloth after 2 days. There are 1 or 2 other spots but much less prominent. Any thoughts on what may have caused it or how to remove it.

A microfiber cloth dampened with warm water didn't do much.

Do you or someone you play with get sweaty hands?

I'd try some Brakleen on a microfiber cloth and dab it on the Simonis. It will evaporate pretty quick and should remove it.

Whatever you use.....Spot test first on a scrap piece.

I’ve used Brakleen with great success on my 860HR Tournament Blue.

Get used to this unless you're planning on keeping cleanroom-like conditions. The light colored cloths(TB or grey) show ANY little smudge. Could easily be just grease from food on fingers or maybe something on installers hand.

Doubt it's the same issue, but I just put new 860 on the other day and also started to notice black smudges. Turns out it was the leather (or whatever it is) material on the palm of the predator glove rubbing off if I slid my hand slightly. Never saw this on my previous cloth, which was also 860, just a different color.

Best Solutions for Removing Grease Stains Off Of Simonis 860HR Cloth?

As hard as we try to enforce our not eating while playing rule (and we manage do a pretty good job of it) sometimes it happens. Also, you can’t force people to go wash their hands after eating before they play, so it inevitably happens. Does...

Thanks all! Maybe I'll install a hand washing station . I at least wash my hands, but my kids on the other hand... I was just surprised to see it in such short time.

I tried a dilute woolite mixture with no luck. I'll try brakleen on a piece of test cloth next. I'll report back.

Was the bed cloth glued down or stapled?

Move the light around and pay attention to the Black spots!!!
