Unboxing
Open, carefully remove the Clean Gleem machine (yes, it’s a bit heavy) and inspect for damage. Turn
the machine on it’s back to access the bottom and unwind the power cord. The cord can be extended
through the hand holes on the sides of the machine or the vent openings on the bottom of the machine.
Place the machine in the desired location, plug it in and you’re ready for use. Placing the machine on a
piece of carpet or other padding will reduce vibration and it will run more quietly.
The Basics
It’s easy to use - place the balls into the round openings in the top then turn the timer knob clockwise
to the desired run time. The balls will spin and tumble against the cleaning pads that line the openings,
cleaning and polishing the balls. When the machine stops remove the balls and you’re ready to play.
The machine may be stopped at any time by turning the timer knob counter clockwise to the off position.
You can insert a full set of balls or only a few at a time.
NOTE: If the machine hesitates when starting first start the machine before inserting the balls.
Hand Applying a Cleaner/Polish
It’s recommended to use Aramith Billiard Ball Cleaner for excellent results though you may try out other
products if you’d like. Apply a SMALL dab of Aramith to each ball with a soft, slightly moistened cloth,
coating it’s entire surface. It will quickly dry to a slight haze. If there are any deep smudges or chalk
marks on the balls rub them out when applying the cleaner. Insert the balls into the machine and run
for the desired time. Only a couple minutes is usually adequate, run longer for dirtier balls. When the
machine stops remove and inspect the balls. Any dusty residue from dried cleaner is easily wiped off
with a dry, soft cloth before using the balls.
If your balls are in pretty good condition and you just want to ‘freshen them up’ rub each ball with a
slightly moistened cloth before inserting into the machine, then run briefly.
Regardless of the cleaner you use, use it SPARINGLY to avoid caking excess cleaner on the cleaning
pads/rollers and degrading the machine’s performance.

Spray Applying a Cleaner/Polish
If you’re using a spray cleaner insert the balls, start the machine and lightly mist over the balls. This is a
convenient time saver compared to hand application. A mixture of one tablespoon Aramith to one cup
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in a spray bottle gives great results. Shake the mixture well before misting, it
should be a thin, milky consistency.
For a quick freshening of your balls just a misting with plain water or alcohol may be all you need.
Once again, regardless of the cleaner you use, use it SPARINGLY to avoid caking excess cleaner on the
cleaning pads/rollers and degrading the machine’s performance.
Removing Balls from the Machine
ALWAYS be sure the machine is OFF before removing the balls. You can lift the balls out individually or
pull the entire top out of the machine to access the balls more conveniently. The top has a snug press fit
into the machine, remove and replace carefully, pressing it down fully. Be sure to replace the top in the
same orientation, the top has one end which must be positioned over the pulley end of the machine.
Cleaning/Polishing Notes
Different cleaning/polishing products can have a large effect on how your balls play, especially how
much the balls throw. With some products the play of your balls may even change over the course of a
match as the product wears off the rolling balls into the cloth of your table. That great shine you may
get with some products, especially automotive types, is likely from silicons and/or waxes and may not be
the best for the consistent, predictable play you’ll want from your balls.
Most players prefer clean, smooth but non slippery balls with a good luster and that will play
consistently throughout a match and from day to day. Regular care of your balls with the Clean Gleem
and the proper cleaning/polishing product is recommended, it only takes a few minutes to keep your
balls in top shape before use.
Precautions
Be smart and safe using your Clean Gleem. Always be sure the machine is off before inserting/removing
balls or lifting out the top. Don’t stick your hand or anything (your tie, for instance) into the openings of
a running machine. Be careful moving the machine to avoid damage to the machine or to your back.
Use cleaning/polishing products sparingly to help keep your machine working in top condition.
