is there a quick way to remove a red wine blotch from a blue pool cloth?

without a trace showing? (quinine and salt didn't work.)

if not, how long does it take to have a new cloth installed?

and ... if someone is coming back from a business trip and doesn't know about the new cloth, would he be able to recognize the old cloth had been replaced?

would appreciate a quick answer!

thanks!

I would consider Blue Dye, However, Troll droppings diluted with water may also solve the problem, but no guaranties!!!!!

From reading the threads on here I'm sure the question is going to come up, Why would you have red wine around the pool table in the first place?
 
Don't let it dry, or you might get a stain ring. Keep it damp, and seriously, get you one of the sham-wows, soak it up. Keep blotting it. And admitting you have a problem is the first step ;)
 
Ooh this sounds like a life lesson is being learned. Spill wine on dads table? Oops! No way to clean red off of blue, man. It's stained for good. It would cost you a couple hundred easily to replace it so you might as well be ready for that ass chewin' that's coming down the pipe. Really sorry.

Salt? On pool table cloth? Don't be surprised if that leaves a white ring after it dries.
 
Its not the end as we know it Sunny, life goes on. It will still play fine plus you will have a reminder -- practice Jump Shots over empty glasses! LOL Hope it works out OK.

Big deal! I came into the poolroom the other day for my usual Monday marathon of One Pocket and someone had bled all over the foot spot on table eight. Luckily it had dried so we played on. Later I asked the manager, Sammy "Three Balls" Westerman how he gets blood out of table cloth. He said. "Usually, I just take the bum outside." :D
 
oh well.

thanks for the suggestions everyone!

as she usually does, my mom gave me the best advice:

1) e-mail the bf with the cloth update. you don't want to hide stuff from him and besides you're no good at keeping secrets. if he does get upset, he'll have time to get over it before he gets home.

2) replace the cloth right away. move on.

so, that's what i'll do.

bye!

p. s. for those who are curious about how wine could get spilled on a pool cloth? it wasn't my fault! it involved 4 girls race-skating around the loft, 2 dogs happily chasing and barking, 'chaiyya chaiyya' amped up ... well you get the picture! not my fault at all!
 
Has the table been recovered? Did you upgrade the cloth?
That would have been a good way to appease the BF.
 
If you got red wine on your cloth then it probly won't effect your play anyway. Just play over it.:D
 
Get some red cloth... Ask your bf what type of cloth before you put some brand he doesn't like
 
Hey sunny, does BF stand for Billiard Fanatic? Billiard Forum? Buffalo Fart? Barbara Fairchild? Baby Face? Ben Franklin? Brain Freeze? Bloody Fool? Brett Favre? Blind Faith? Blind Melon?
Acronyms are worriesome as hell, aren't they? :)

The only chance to get any spills from staining the cloth is to have a rinse&vac or wet vac available, and soak the stain, then vac, do this over and over a few times. If its dried, you can keep repeating, scrub it with some soda and water, soak with water, vac, keep repeating. Theres no chance of it being completely unnoticeable. It costs about 150-200 for simonis, and about another 150 for labor to install if you get a good price on doing just one table.
 
Get the table recovered with a new color...like tournament blue or traditional green. Then, when BF gets home...say SURPRISE!!! Do you like it. I really missed you. He'll never be any the wiser. Just don't get some dorky color like burgandy.

This is definately a case where flogging would be justified.

Dicking around near a pool table = 10 lashes
Dicking around near a pool table and damaging it = 25 lashes

Point is: stop dicking around :)
 
Red Wine + Fabric = Satan

Tell him asap, ask him what cloth he wants, get new cloth.

To further smooth it out with your BF, there's 2 ways to a man's forgiveness. One is through the belly, and the other is a little lower. I'm not trying to be crass, forgive me if this offends you... NOTHING puts me in a more charitable mood than a .. Offer him a voucher for at least 3 of 'em. :thumbup:

Good luck!

3????? Are you out of your mind????? If this is a 9 ft table, that would be like as many as you want for a year!!!
 
The question I have...

Was a lesson learned, and if one was learned what was it?

Hopefully, one of those lessons is.. Never ever set any type of drink on, or near the pool table. Also... don't have a drink in your hand while you're at the pool table.


Other lessons, like honesty and stuff would be another nice lesson to learn.
