Foosball Table Maintenance 101: Keep Your Game in Top Shape with JH Brothers
A Foosball Table is a great addition to any home, bar, or game room—but like any piece of equipment, it requires regular maintenance to keep it playing smoothly. At JH Brothers Technology Pte. Ltd., we want your Foosball Table to last for years, so we’ve put together this simple maintenance guide to help you keep your table in top shape.
First, clean the table regularly. Dust, dirt, and debris can build up on the tabletop, rods, and players, which can affect gameplay and cause wear and tear. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the tabletop after each use—avoid using water or harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the surface. For the rods, use a dry cloth to remove any dust or grime, and if necessary, a small amount of rubbing alcohol to clean tough stains.
Second, lubricate the rods. The rods are the heart of your Foosball Table, and keeping them lubricated ensures smooth spinning and movement. Every 3-6 months, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the rods (avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and damage the bearings). Wipe off any excess lubricant to prevent it from getting on the tabletop or players.
Third, check and tighten the screws. Over time, the screws that hold the table together, as well as the screws on the players and rods, can become loose. Every few months, use a screwdriver to check all the screws and tighten them if necessary. This will prevent the table from wobbling and ensure the players stay securely attached to the rods.
Fourth, protect the table from damage. Avoid placing heavy objects on the tabletop, as this can warp the surface or damage the rails. Keep the table away from direct sunlight and moisture, which can cause the wood to fade, warp, or crack. If you’re moving the table, lift it from the frame (not the rods or tabletop) to avoid bending or breaking parts.
Fifth, replace worn parts as needed. Even with regular maintenance, parts like the players, rods, or bearings may wear out over time. At JH Brothers, we offer replacement parts for all our Foosball Tables, so you can easily replace any worn or damaged parts to keep your table playing like new. If you’re unsure which part you need, our customer service team is always here to help.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can keep your JH Brothers Foosball Table in excellent condition for years to come. A well-maintained Foosball Table not only provides better gameplay but also saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs or replacements. So, take a few minutes each month to care for your table—and keep the fun going!
