Is there a risk to the felt becoming detached from the foam below it when cleaning the table without removing the felt itself?

Probably. MiNe has survived just fine though. YMMV.

Finally got around to cleaning my felt today. It seems like it was overdue!

Do you ever have issues with water spots afterward? Or do you find it dries pretty evenly?

It was time…

Same. The felt definitely moves around, but in my experience you can just smooth it out again post-cleaning.

Annual-ish refresh. Bright and shiny still six years in!

The OCD in me loves this thread. And now I will never look at table felt the same...

Does this same method work on rjdev toppers? I have black printed racetrack that I love for the look of my table but is starting to get fingernail trails on there that a damp rag isn't cleaning up anymore.

I don't have any experience with using the Little Green Machine on RJDev toppers, but I have thrown mine into a washing machine (cold water wash with a little Tide Free & Clear detrgent on delicate cycle) with fantastic results. In my machine that cycle does include a spin at slowest speeds which did not harm the topper in any way. I then put it in the dryer on air dry (no hot air) for about an hour, then lay it flat between two towels and step on it (to remove any excess water, and then let it dry flat on a dry towel (on the top of a clothes dryer rack) for a day. Just did this a second time about two weeks ago and it comes out looking like new. All fingernail scratches, stains, etc., were gone and the card glide was as slick as ever.

Very good tips. Thank you!

I got myself a spot cleaner. Worked a treat on the tables.
As well as the car and rug…

Some of that dirty water is mixed from the car and poker table.
