American pool table maintenance mainly includes the following aspects:
Regularly clean the tabletop: Use a soft brush to clean the tabletop in one direction, and avoid using linting towels or sharp instruments to prevent scratching the surface. Stains can be gently wiped with a wet towel.
Check and clean the edge of the pool: Regularly check whether the rubber on the edge of the pool is aging or the table cloth is damaged. These problems will affect the rebound angle and thus affect the goal. Use a wet towel that has been wrung out to clean the edge of the pool to ensure that there are no stains and dust on the tabletop.
Horizontal calibration: Ensure that the table is level to avoid uneven levelness caused by external force, which will affect the line of the billiards. Use a professional level to measure the height difference of the four corners and the center of the tabletop, and adjust the height of the table legs in time to restore its original flatness.
Pocket maintenance: Check whether the pocket is aging or damaged, ensure that the pocket is tight, avoid loosening of the pocket due to excessive force, and prevent the occurrence of ball retention, ball leakage, etc..
Avoid direct sunlight and rain: The damage to the pool table caused by sunlight and rain cannot be ignored. Long-term exposure to sunlight will age the wooden frame and crack the paint; rain may cause the table cloth to fade and deteriorate. Try to place the pool table indoors. If you can only place it by the window, remember to use a sunshade to block it.
Check and clean accessories regularly: Check whether the screws on the edges are loose to ensure the stability of the table. Clean the table slide regularly and check whether the nuts and belts are loose. The bag mouth should be protected from rain, exposure and moisture. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth when cleaning.
