Pool Table Cleaning
Careful cleaning of pool table felt, rails, pockets, and frame — preserving accuracy and protecting your investment.
Pool Table Cleaning — What to Expect
A pool table is a significant investment, and the felt playing surface is its most sensitive component. Chalk buildup, dust, and surface debris affect ball roll accuracy and can cause premature felt wear. Standard household cleaning methods risk damaging the nap of the felt or leaving residue that affects play.
Our pool table cleaning service uses the correct tools and techniques for each component — dry brushing and vacuuming for the felt, specialized products for the rails and leather pockets, and appropriate wood care for the cabinet and legs. We treat every table like the precision instrument it is.
- Careful vacuuming and directional brushing of the felt surface
- Chalk dust and debris removal using specialist dry techniques
- Rail and pocket cleaning and conditioning
- Wood frame, legs, and cabinet cleaning and polishing
- Guidance on ongoing maintenance and felt protection

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Pool Table Cleaning service.
Still have questions?How do I know if my pool table felt needs cleaning?
Signs that your felt needs professional attention include visible chalk accumulation, a dusty or gritty feel, inconsistent ball roll, visible marks or stains, and a dull or matted appearance to the fabric. Even without obvious signs, a table that sees regular use benefits from cleaning every 6–12 months.
Will cleaning affect how balls roll on my table?
Professional cleaning should improve ball roll by removing chalk buildup and debris that creates friction and inconsistency. We always brush in the direction of the nap to maintain the felt's proper playing characteristics. A correctly cleaned felt plays truer than a dirty one.
Can damaged felt be repaired?
Minor felt damage such as small burns, cuts, or worn patches can sometimes be repaired. More extensive damage typically requires re-felting — the installation of new cloth on the table. We can assess the condition of your felt and recommend whether cleaning, repair, or re-felting is the right option.
How long does pool table cleaning take?
A thorough cleaning of the felt, rails, pockets, and cabinet typically takes 1–2 hours depending on the condition of the table. The table is ready to play on immediately after the service.
How often should a pool table be professionally cleaned?
Tables that see regular use (several times per week) benefit from professional cleaning every 6–12 months. Lightly used tables in a home setting can go 1–2 years between professional services. Between cleanings, brush the felt after each session and cover the table when not in use.
