6. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your foosball table:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the playing surface and exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Rod Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the player rods to ensure smooth movement. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and grime.
- Storage: When not in use, fold the table and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Regularly check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and prevent wear.

- Table is wobbly: Check that all leg connections are secure and tightened. Ensure the table is placed on a flat, level surface.
- Player rods are stiff or sticky: Clean the rods and their bearings with a damp cloth, then apply a silicone-based lubricant.
- Balls frequently jump off the table: This can happen with aggressive play. Ensure the table is stable and consider adjusting play style.
