Simonis X-1 Pool Table Cloth Cleaning Tool. (Multi)

I just received my Simonis X1 billiard cloth cleaning tool. Straight out of the box, I put mine to work! My table had quite a bit of chalk residue. By simply rubbing the Simonis X1 back and forth over the dirty areas, it creates static electricity, and safely pulls the debris from the felt. No dangerous vacuuming needed, which can damage my felt, no brushing chalk into the edges of the table, I just wipe it away. After using the Simonis X1, I am impressed with its performance, as well as its ease of use. Cleaning my pool table just got a lot easier.

I know what you are thinking. I was too. But I spent the money and am really happy I did. This works better than I could have imagined. You'll still want the brush for the nooks and crannies. But this does a much better job on the playing surface and less wear and tear on it there as well. I highly recommend this as an avid pool player for your table.

We had just gotten our 4x8 pool table re-felted with Simonis championship series felt and if you play pool, you would probably know that it was NOT cheap. My wife and I play on a few leagues as well as at home for practice so we decided to take the jump and get the “good stuff” . We were informed on how to maintain it and what not to do if we want this cloth to last. One thing the installer mention is to get this particular cloth cleaner. He went over the reasons why and and how it works and so we ordered it. I know you think “why would I pay this much for cleaning my table when I have the brush and a vacuum? Well he answered that when you vacuum the cloth to get chalk dust and “fuzz” off, it actually will excessively stretch it and then you will hate playing on a loose table or you will have to pay to re-stretch it. In comes the Simonis cloth cleaner. It cleans all the junk off the table including chalk dust, fuzz, that messy powder for your hands and cue as well as erase lots of burn marks created buy putting lots of english spin and speed breaking. The way it was explained to me was that the brushing action you do created static cling and the contact service that magically picks up LOTS of the junk. To clean it you can vacuum it with out any damage. The other benefit is that it will help with any warranty issues later on down the line if they see you are serious about using the correct tool for the job. To sum it up, yes, although expensive, it is well worth it. It leaves the table looking like it’s right off the shoe room clean and protects your investment much longer. Hope this helps…..

I was skeptical, but I finally broke down and bought one. It really does a great job of removing chalk from your cloth. It's quick and easy to use and leaves your cloth looking great. It's not great on the little white specks of junk that show up, but it's great on chalk marks and leaves the cloth in a nice smooth state. It seems to be less harsh than the typical brush. As with others, I'd give 5 stars if it was $50.

I recently moved into a new house. I had my table refelted with Simonis felt while I had the table moved by professionals. I loved playing on the Simonis. After a few months of continuous play, my cloth felt flat. I noticed a lack of action in the play. It was harder to apply English to the ball. I tried cleaning the felt with a brush and felt cleaner, that worked for a short time. I had to do this cleaning often. After I bought and used the X-1, my Simonis felt feels new again. I have not used the brush or cleaner in a while and I have not noticed a loss in action. The X-1 is a great product and really makes a difference in cleaning the felt. It is very expensive and I would have preferred it was cheaper.

Well made. Not as spectacular in cleaning the cloth as I thought it would be but it is effective. All in all I would recommend this product for cleaning your Simonis cloth without stressing the cloth.

Works great!!!!!!

Simonis X-1 Pool Table Cloth Cleaning Tool was covered in dust when it arrived. It was used. Sold as new. I did not buy this 'tool' for months because the price was ridiculous. Its a plastic square, on the bottom the cleaning pad is a Velcro like pad but smooth. It uses static electricity to attract and hold dust. Not impressed. You can pickup fine dust and fibers but it drops them back onto the table surface if you continue to clean. You have to stop and use a stiff brush to clean the pad frequently. Otherwise it deposits the fibers and dust back onto the cloth. There is a lot of hype in pool table products. This item might be a good deal at $30, but not $100! A new shoe shining brush and a vacuum brushing do just fine. I kept this overpriced 'tool' but rarely use it. Lastly, it does not pickup hair and fibers, only fine dust and chalk, again with frequent cleaning.
