A well-maintained pool table not only last for one but several generations. Though snooker tables are constructed from strong wood and materials, you must always protect your pool table - including surface, pockets, and rails - from possible damages.
To shed some light on how to keep the pool table maintained for lifetimes, we have mentioned some snooker table maintenance tips below.
Dust Cover Is A Must
A snooker table cover is necessary to keep the table covered when not in use; however, only a few owners do so. If you, too, follow the same step, know that you’re making a big mistake here. Leaving the pool table uncovered, not only exposes the table to dust and pet hair but also ruins the table’s surface as the cloth starts to fade. Ultimately, you would need to invest in a new pool table cloth.
No Drinks Near The Table
Spilled drinks over the table could ruin the table surface. It’s tempting to keep the drink over the edge of the pool table before making a shot but you must not allow liquid nearby. Instead, invest in tables or shelves to keep drinks away from the table. The same rule applies to the smoke. When you don’t want burning marks, avoid keeping smokes in the mouth as its ashes can fall on the cloth.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
The snooker table cloth is sensitive to sunlight and it begins to fade and deteriorate when exposed to direct sun rays. Whether you use a dust cover or not, make sure the pool table isn’t near to the windows. In case, you can’t change your table’s location, consider investing in sun shades to minimize the effect of UV rays.
Besides following these mentioned snooker table maintenance tips, periodically brush the cloth to remove dust and chalk particles.
