Maintaining your table football: discover our tips for easy table football maintenance - Mister Babyfoot

Regardless of the brand of your miniature football table (Bonzini, Mister Babyfoot, Stella, Roberto Sport, Petiot, etc.), it's designed to be robust and durable, designed to withstand minor mishaps and everyday mishaps. But you still need to take care of it and maintain it regularly!

A few basic rules to know for maintaining your adult or child's football table:

- Respect your football table and the brand that manufactured it (Petiot, Stella, Sulpie, Marius, or other well-known brands)

The first rule to follow when you want to maintain your football table properly is to respect it. Tackling, hitting, or any other angry gestures should be avoided because they cause the poles to twist, which, in the long run, will hinder their rotation. The poles could become twisted to the point where it becomes difficult for players to move and prevent them from returning to their original position.

- What are the basic elements to avoid at all costs to avoid damaging your foosball table?

When you play foosball, put out your cigarette and put down your glass. Carpet isn't a fan of splashes and ashes... And if you've decided, for example, to invest in a beautiful, luxury wooden adult foosball table from a brand like By Toulet, we highly recommend following these basic rules.


Once you've put these few gestures and behaviors aside, you'll already be halfway there, and it's time to get your bowls and pee bottles.

- Maintaining your new or used foosball balls

Let's start with the simplest: maintain your balls! To do this, simply rub the balls with a slightly damp cloth and a little soap, then rinse them, and then dry them. That's it! Also note that if your balls are too worn, you can of course easily order them on our website in the "table football accessories and balls" category.

Now, let's spice things up and move on to the other elements of the table football table that need cleaning.

- Maintaining the bars and handles of your Bonzini, Sulpie, Petiot, Mister BabyFoot, or other brand table football table

First of all, you should know that regardless of the brand of your table football table (By Toulet, Garlando, Sulpie, Smoby...), they all clean the same way; the cleaning method varies only depending on the main material of the foosball table (wood or not)!

The most important parts of the foosball table are undoubtedly the rods. It is essential that they are properly oiled to ensure good glide and a smooth and enjoyable game; otherwise, the game will be skewed and unbalanced, or worse, the players will no longer enjoy playing the matches...

It couldn't be simpler! Equip yourself with an oil can and apply a little oil to the inside of the rod. Use a cloth to avoid splashing onto the playing mat. Once the operation is finished, go back and forth to spread the oil evenly.

If a bar is bent, adding oil will not solve the problem. You can remove it to try to straighten it, but the operation is delicate and requires the right tools. The easiest way is to change the bar (this product is available individually in specialist stores)

It is important that the screws and nuts on the handles and bars are properly tightened. It is better to tighten them with a wrench rather than by hand. During the annual technical inspection, remember to check the tightness of all the other screws: players, sides and feet of the table football, inside the goals, etc.

It is useful to make sure that the table football is always straight. Place the ball in the middle of the field, it will tell you! If the floor your foosball table is on is a little wobbly, don't hesitate to place wedges under the feet. Nothing could be simpler, and it really makes a difference to the feeling of the game and the fairness of the match between the two teams!

 

 

- Cleaning your foosball table cloth

To maintain the foosball table cloth (or your multi-game table that also plays air hockey, pool, and more), a vacuum cleaner is your best friend. Equipped with a brush attachment (to avoid scratching the mat), it will remove all dirt, dust, and other irregularities in the pitch that could deflect the ball's trajectory. If the balls leave marks on your playing mat, try erasing them with an eraser. It's often forgotten, but a rough game of bowling and lobbing can have an impact on your mat.

If, despite our basic recommendations, the contents of a glass spill onto your foosball table, making the pitch a little sticky, quickly grab a cloth and a bottle of white spirit and gently dab at the stains.

Be careful, only a few drops on a cloth! If the mat is too damaged, you can replace it. You can find individual mats at any retailer.

And above all, don't forget to clean the corners of the court; this is where dust accumulates most easily, it's also where the edges quickly peel off, and where it's most difficult to clean the mat!
