POOL TABLE CLEANING

[Jimmy L]

Was asked if I could clean 25 pool tables for someone.

I have a good idea how to do them but want to know how others have done them.

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

Phooey on Scratch-b-gone and stainless steel.


I got Poo-B-NoMo for Pool tables.

The big bucks are in Pool tables, Mr CornHusker. I will teach you all you need to know for $47.95, and give you all the supplies, enough to make $40,000 in Nebraska alone.

I just use my ramp to get the Cimex up there. Makes quick work of them.

We would HEPA vacuum with drapery tool, dry clean lightly clean with with OMS.

If it's more soiled that, we would vacuum with drapery tool, use a sea sponge and clean with the foam from a neutral shampoo. Wipe down with a towel.

The vacuum does most of your soil removal the solvent removes grease and oils, shampoo water base soils.

* Use minimal fluid, shampoo or OMS, to prevent the glue from loosening.

Damn, I learned something new today. I never knew my felt was glued on, I thought they only staple it on. I'm getting on the phone now to b!tch about them not using glue on my table.

Nathan. You must not have a slate slab if they stapled it. Unlesss thee is wood under the frame.

Believe me, it's a regulation size slated table. I had to carry it up the 225-250 pd slate 22 stairs. I helped the pool table guy set it up. Below the slate has wooden borders that you staple to. Just like installing carpet. Tack one side, then stretch to the other. No glue was used during the installation. I just love to play pool.

Your right the felt isn't glued down, It's stretched. They used the same felt when I had mine moved...

 

[Harry Myers]

That is what
i meant Nathan. I have seen them done both ways, Glue. Or staple.

If the felt is anything like a car headliner, DON"T extract it! I wonder if it loosens up like cheap carpet when it's wet.

Don't listen to Chavez, the only pool he plays is of the "pocket" variety! I've never seen felt glued, and I've seen every pool table there is!

Mine is glued, but it is a cheap, table-in-a-box pool that I spent half a day assembling. The "slate" is actually really dense pressed wood.

I wasn't thinking, we had a coin operated one removed from our basement before we moved last year. I saw him take it apart in pieces, I should have remembered.

I just remembered the one we had as a teen and it was glued, but it wasn't slate more like gravel. We waz poor, it was glued to particle board.

The "pocket pool" that's a dam lie, sure I do it, but it's not the only pool I play.

I plays in the shwimming pool in the summer too!
