I know that Joe Allore said he used a light spraying of Pledge on one of my covers and that it worked great. Here is exactly what he wrote me.

"Initially the surface wa a little high friction so I washed it with soap and water then sprayed it with a touch of pledge (and wiped clean)." Joe Allore

Simple...water...just a damp paper towel. Plastic field covers don't generally get rubbed in dirt so I don't know why you would need to use anything else. I sometimes use an all purpose windex for my Watts board because for some reason the dirt and dust particles really stick to the board's clear coat.

The soap and water followed by rubbing the playing surface with smooth towel and a smidge of pledge was to get rid of that grip (taciness) of a brand new platic surface. Nobody likes to play on a surface that grips too much and this technique will take care of that perfectly.

Talking Joe's right

Joe's right on the money...

If you have a field with a polyurethane surface (Watt's boards and some of my early Rollerboards) you will need to use a bit of pledge after you clean it off with windex to take away that "grip".

The vinyl field covers and laminate covers only need a little water and a soft cloth (no paper towels - they can leave swirls). If they ever get food oils on them you can use windex, but you won't need more than just a tiny bit.

Joe - can you give me a PM?
