In the past I have used windex or something when I needed to clean them. The balls I have, came with my table and were made around 1970. I want to make sure I am taking care of them properly. A friend also suggested that I put them in the dishwasher.
Answer
Soap leaves residue!
There are a bunch of different devices and products suggested for cleaning and shining pool balls, especially the cue ball. To get a real shine, you are going to need some elbow grease and some hard buffing. Some companies sell billiard ball polishers, and they run about $50 dollars. There are some industrial ball cleaners that run upwards of $500.
There is a product made specially for this, called "Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher".
I just clean them on occasion with Windex, and it worked pretty well, but never use abrasive cleaners on them. I've also heard of people using dish soap too, saying that it works better on billiard balls than regular soap, but you risk leaving residue.
You can also try a vibrating rock polisher. ($110)

Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher: $9.95 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OWP23O?ie=UTF8&tag=ipodvideosour-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000OWP23O
Spray some "Fantastik" household cleaner onto a clean terrycloth towel and polish away. Buff it up with a dry section of the towel and your balls will be as good as new.

Personally, I'd opt for the Tiger Ball Cleaner/Polisher if I couldn't get to a pool hall or pro shop to have them cleaned properly by machine.
Good Luck -

Where in Missouri is good for camping and activities?

My husband and I are 30 and 26 respectively and our anniversary is coming up in a few weeks. Considering I have been laid off we need to keep the celebration modest, but would like to do something. Any ideas besides the obvious free way to celebrate an anniversary :) ?
