Getting Cat Fur Off of a Pool Table

Dirt and residue on your pool table felt can change the quality of your pool game. Too much debris will slow the balls down, or even redirect their paths. Of all the debris that gets stuck, pet hair is one of the most difficult to remove without damaging the felt. Too much suction from a vacuum and you will permanently damage the fibers on your pool table surface. Regular brushing combined with a lint remover will pick up those nasty cat hairs.

      Take the attachment off a small hand-held vacuum. Set the vacuum on low and run the vacuum over the felt cloth in repeated straight-line movements lengthways across the table. Start where you place the cue ball on break and move towards the other end.

      Run the vacuum over the pockets where you brushed the hair towards earlier and suck up any hair the vacuum can get.

      Run a lint roller across the table and around the pockets to pick up any remaining cat hair. Depending on the size of the table and the amount of excess hair, multiple lint rollers may be required.
