I'm a stranger to this corner of the forum, but have a question that might be appropriate.
I'm new to home table ownership and have been experimenting with ways to keep the table spiffy.
The retailer sold me brushes and gave me a demonstration of how to groom a table and "train the felt" in the direction of the head spot, theoretically providing a faster break.
Recently on a trip to Sam's Club, I bought a package of microfibre towels that pick up dust, lint and grit without benefit of another cleaner. I've been sharpening up my table with just the towels -- toweling only one direction, toward the head spot -- and am very satisfied with the results.
Anybody using using this technique? Any chance I'm somehow damaging the felt? The towels have one further advantage: Whereas the brush tends to lose bristles (as advised, I worked it out on a brick before taking it to the table). No bristle hassles with the towel.
Anyone else?
