Follow the manufacturer’s advice
Different boards use different materials and finishes. Start with the care instructions supplied with your board.
Keep the surface clear
Remove loose debris gently and keep food and drinks away from the playing area. Avoid applying household cleaners or abrasive tools unless the manufacturer recommends them.
Use compatible accessories
Choose a striker and playing powder suitable for your board. Follow product guidance rather than adding more powder whenever a shot feels slow.
Store carefully
Keep the board away from moisture and extreme conditions. Check that it sits level before a game, and inspect the frame and pockets periodically.
