This was recommended to me by Ernesto Dominguez while he was here at our room a few weeks ago to recover all our tables, which hadn’t been recovered by him in 3 years. On a few of our most badly stained 860HR Simonis clothed tables before he recovered them, we experimented with the soap with amazing results, as it removed all the stains as well as bringing the tournament blue original color back to the cloth. Having owned and operated our poolroom for the last 30+ years, I wished I had learned this years ago - absolutely amazing!

You must use a very firm brush and really soap down the entire table including the cushion tops with the soap and water - really scrubbing in the soap and water with the firm brush especially on the stained areas, then completely rinsing out the soap off the cloth with a wet cloth / towel. Then set a fan on the end of the table to help dry the cloth. I took some before and after photos on my phone which I’d be glad to text to anyone who’d like them, just PM me.

Can’t you just post the pictures here?
 
rinsing out soapy water from cloth takes a lot more than a wet towel to sop it up and remove all the soap.

no way do you get the soap out of the cloth that way.

it may not matter though but the rails and cloth will never be soap free.

if you have to go that far why not recover the table or tables.

but if banger tables then they will just ruin them back anyway. so it may be better than nothing to do that.

Yes, you do have to make sure you rub out all the soap with a very wet towel after scrubbing the soap in the cloth with a firm brush and plenty of water. I can assure you once you do and once the cloth is dry with the help of a fan set at the end of the table, it looks awesome with no damage at all to the cloth, and plays great.

According to Ernesto, who’s opinion I trust, it doesn’t do any harm to the cloth or even to the wooden subrails. Oscar does this on his tables at Hard Times in Sacramento, one of the best poolrooms in the country.

Not sure how secure doing this is but the old fashioned standard is get it on your desktop and drag it to where you want it; the post box in this case. Pretty sure phones don't work this way.
