How Should I Care For My Pool Table?

If you just bought your first pool table, you are probably somewhat concerned about its longevity.

The first thing to remember is to keep your pool table clean. Sounds pretty elementary, but you would be surprised to learn how many people let their table get dusty. If you have a natural wood table, it is best to dust frequently with a regular feather duster and give it a good cleaning once a week.

To clean or to restore luster to your wood table, it is good to use a non-residue producing cleaner, such as lemon oil or orange oil. You can also use a light wax on the wood–just be sure to really buff it out otherwise the trim on your table could get sticky.

Get The Most Out Of Your Billiards Room

Get The Most Out Of Your Billiards Room by Steph Winston

I recently remodelled my home and decided to include a billiards room. I have always loved the idea of having one, especially so I wouldn’t have to use the awful table at the bar down the street anymore. So, I was scouting the internet looking for pool tables when I thought–why not get all the accessories while I was at it?

So, I included billiards lighting and lamps into my search and wondered why I had originally intended to just put a pool table in a room. With nothing else. I started finding other really cool billiards accessories like college logo pub tables and bar stools. I mean, how great is that? I ended up purchasing a pub table, two swivel bar stools, a pool table, some matching college pool cues, and tons of billiards supplies like felt combs and chalk cones. I then went out and bought matching team color paint so I could have a fully themed sports game room. I was thrilled!

I had a group of my friends over and discovered that I didn’t have enough places for everyone to sit. Everyone loved the college sports theme, so I decided to look for more college themed seating. I found the perfect match to my college team decor! I bought the college team logo billiards spectator chairs and boy were they nice. Finally, my billiards room was coming together and really looking and functioning beautifully.

One time I had a huge party and had tons of people hanging out, playing billiards–but everyone asked me where they could play cards. I had missed something in my previous shopping expeditions, so I went out hunting for card tables. I ended up finding matching college game table tops just like these: http://www.sports-collectibles-store.com/collegegametables.html that were set up so everyone could play poker comfortably. It was great and a big hit when my friends came over again.

Creating my billiards room was fun and the college team theme really worked out nicely. It is great to have a little relaxing haven in your own home to go to and just chill.
