How Do You Clean Pool Balls With Baking Soda?
Clean, smooth billiard balls not only enhance the appearance of your pool table set, but it might help improve your playing and help protect your investment. Dust the billiard balls with a dry, very soft cloth such as a cloth diaper. Be careful you do not scratch the balls, as scratches mar the finish and could affect the performance during play. With a mixture of mild liquid dish soap and water, gently wash each ball individually using a cloth (not a scouring pad). Rinse the ball with clean water and allow it to air dry. Make a paste with baking soda and water. Gently rub each billiard ball with the paste, then buff each ball dry. Make a solution of 1/2 water to 1/2 lemon juice. Use a soft cloth to apply the solution to each billiard ball, then dry and polish.
