OK so this is my first table what should I do to help keep the felt looking good? Brush? Vac?
Both, brush first then Vacum, but do not use a Vacum with a rotating brush, and from the begining brush and vacum in only one direction, either from head to foot or reverse, but never side to side. You can also alternate breaking from different ends of the table, this way the cloth will wear more evenly. Do not use anything but Aramith Balls on your table, cheap balls will create friction marks that look like white dots or lines on the cloth and keep them clean also.
Take Care
Thanks....
I have a set of Centennials (for me) and a set pf Aramith standard balls for my son and wife to use. I will be using them too when playing with them but the Brunswicks are off limits for them. LOL
Centennials are great, they are also made by Aramith to Brunswick's specifications. Looks like you have a great room, I always wanted a pool room my house, until I opened my pool room, now it is nice to just go home and relax.!!:smile:

Cover it with plastic such as those old seat or furniture covers.
I have a 35 year old Brunswick with the original cloth. I always use a vacuum. A shop vac, rotating brush upright, rotating brush canister. They have not ruined the cloth. What ruins it is jump balls.
Also track lines from doing certain drills and breaking.
Burn spots will occur no matter what balls you use.
Don't chalk over the table.
No drinks, or cigs on or near the table.
DO NOT USE IT AS A STORAGE SURFACE OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A POOL TABLE.
Get some rubber chalk holders otherwise the chalk will cause dents in the wood when players slam it on the rail.
I have heard that Quick Clean helps.
Another important thing is don't have beginners or non players learn on the table.
The cloth will not look new forever and will eventually need to be replaced, but withj care it will last a long time.
Is that by chance your wife in your picture? If so can I stop by and play?
Nice room, my wife bought me a table like that for christmas. Gets alot of compliments. Have fun
In addition to Craig's advice.. which I use on my home table, I like to dampen a micro fiber towel/rag and about every week or so wipe the cloth down. Just damp... not wet. Again, wiping only from head to toe only.
The new Simonis cleaning tool that works using static electricity works very well for me.
Well considering my son and wife are beginners It's kind of hard to not let them play. But others will not be playing There will be ground rules for the table. Follow them or don't play. That goes for my wife and son as well.
I never chalk over a table no matter where I am at.
We don't smoke so that is not a issue. Drinks can be had at the table not at the pool table. :wink:
