One of the most important parts of ping pong maintenance is keeping it clean. Dirt, dust, grime, and stains all can impact the performance of the table. To ensure it is in proper working order, you should clean it regularly. Wiping it down with a clean, soft rag after each use is a good start. You should also wash it as needed. This can be done in a few steps. First, wipe the table with a dry sponge or cloth. Next, wash the surface gently with warm, soapy water. Wipe the table with clean water, then wash again. Follow this up by wiping down the legs of the table, as well as getting into any tight spots.
