If you got de chauze hanging round dem pockets, gettin on dem ball....no one likes sticky balls (shudder)

Dawn Soap and hot water.....cleans stinky feet, dirty ass cracks and even saves de animals from dem errl spill.

thanks greyghost...:thumbup:
 
If they are super sticky consider replacing them. The Florida humidity destroys everything rubber and plastic. Rubber gets gummy.
Try a magic eraser. Maybe it will clean the surface.
 
As an old Harley rider I know the answer to cleaning problems is Pledge. When I spend the day in the basement goofing off playing pool I finish up by spraying the CG, then wiping it down with a microfiber cloth. My wife smells the Pledge and thinks I spent hours cleaning up the cave. Cleans pockets too.

That is madness...you cant seriously recommend such a thing?

Pledge would leave an offending residue, both in amount and substanve.

Do you think turpentine smells like roses. That will stink up the house for hours.

Pledge will leave residue and attract chalk dust it has silicone in it and it really isn’t worth a dam for taking care of furniture it’s a gimmick.....it helps to create streaking and white spots over time due to moisture getting trapped under the silicone.
 
OK, don't believe me. But I bet my table looks better than yours. Plus I don't have to worry about spontaneous combustion of the rags.

+1 on the Dawn and warm water, get 'em clean, then just water
to get any residue off (shouldn't be much) :cool:

I going to try a magic eraser tonight and report back. I expect it will work nicely. I have white drop pockets so I hope so.

What’s there to believe, besides the table looking clean....doesn’t negate the fact that it’s leaving a residue on the table, pocket and going to get picked up by the balls.....therefore you have juicy balls

The whole idea any player of note wants neutral balls not dirty or juicy balls just a ball with nothing on it.....unless your Florian I guess and full of dastardly outrageous trickshottery
