Instructions

    • 1

      Buy a product specifically for cleaning pool table felt surfaces. Many new tables come with them, but these products also can be purchased at any billiards/pool table store.

    • 2

      Remove any chalk dust or other debris from the pool table felt with a brush and vacuum. The stained area needs to be completely free of chalk dust. Wet chalk can harden and alter the way the felt surface plays.

    • 3

      Apply the cleaning product to the stained area. Many pool table felt-cleaning products come in a spray bottle, so lightly misting the stain is necessary.

    • 4

      Blot the stained area with a wet terry cloth. Do not scrub, as doing so can damage the pool table felt.

    • 5

      Allow time for the area to dry, and repeat the misting and blotting process as needed.
