Foosball table care and maintenance suggestions can greatly extend the life of a foosball table as well as the enjoyment of playing foosball.
Clean equipment starts with the foosball table. A regular cleaning of the inside and outside of the table with a mild detergent and water or a mix of alcohol and water can be used with a soft cloth rag to clean dirt and grime. Be careful not to get the playfield too wet or you can damage it. Use just a damp cloth. For really dirty playfield and rods, We like to use CP100 pinball playfield cleaner to desolve old dried oil and lubricant. Use a clean rag dampened with the CP100 cleaner everywhere there is left over grease and dirt. Use of a foosball table cover when the table is not in use can protect the table from dust and moisture and is a recommended accessory.
Wipe the old lubricant and dirt off the rods on a regular schedule and relubricate with a silicone base oil. You can use CP100 to aid in the removal of this dried dirt and grease. Then use a light coat of silcone base lubricant when re oiling the rods. You can use a spray or a bottle silcone lubricant but do not get lubricant on the playfield, balls or handles. We like to saturate a clean cloth with this oil and oil each rod end from this cloth. Add lubricant to the cloth as needed. Also remember to wipe lubricant on the inside spaces of the rod between the men to keep them shiny and rust free.
Now is the time to clean each ball. We use a detergent and brush to scrub these balls. On tornado and other rough surfaced balls, try not to scrub so harshly as to remove this surface as it can make the balls too slippery. Some people prefer to tie the balls inside a sock or cloth sack and run them through a cycle in the washing machine. Wash them with whites so they won't change colors. Use which ever way you prefer and let them air dry. Replace any damaged or bad balls.
Foosball handles should not be coated with anything and left natural. Just clean with a damp cloth with detergent and water and let dry as you did the playfield.
Check for damaged or loose men, bumpers, handles and stops and replace or tighten as required. Keeping everything tight and in place will ensure hard hitting and accurate play.
