When I had my table recovered with Tournament Blue Simonis 860, I purchased a Simonis X-1 cleaning wand. After a couple of months, the table still looks brand new. I never vacuum, brush, or use any liquid cleaner. I don't know how the X-1 would do with a used cloth, but you never know. The X-1 is a little pricey, but it supposedly prolongs cloth life and is super easy to use. It electrostaticly attracts chalk, dust, and dirt particles. So you never brush any garbage into the pockets where the balls can pick it up. A while back I had used a misting of Windex followed by wiping with a microfiber rag. Picked up a lot of blue (chalk). Let us know what you decide to use and how it does. Good luck in your quest. Oh, and don't forget to keep the balls cleaned and polished with Aramith ball cleaner.
