Phenolic resin care

Cleaning pool table balls properly is essential for maintaining their performance and longevity. Common myths like using dishwashers, vinegar soaks, or abrasive scrubbing can damage phenolic resin care, causing warping, dullness, or scratches. Instead, opt for safe methods: wipe balls gently with a microfiber cloth and mild soapy water, using isopropyl alcohol for stubborn stains. For a deeper clean, use a dedicated Aramith ball cleaner or a baking soda soak (once a month), ensuring thorough drying to avoid water spots. Proper storage in a ventilated case—not a plastic tray—prevents mold and warping. Avoid paper towels, air-drying, or soaking all balls at once. Replace balls if cracked, yellowed, or flat-spotted, as cheap sets degrade faster. Investing in quality brands like Aramith or Brunswick ensures durability. Regular billiard ball cleaning keeps games smooth and minimizes disputes over skids. Simple pool table maintenance, like a 10-minute monthly clean, preserves bounce and extends your set’s life. Treat your balls right—they’re not dirty laundry!
