Once I get this fixed it's going to be the Simonis chalk cleaner, a horsehair brush and a hand vac with brush attachment. I use a crevice tool to give a quick pass under the rails.
Edit: It's going to cost me $100 to have the guy come over and stretch my cloth. Anybody want to buy 2 qts. of Cue Silk PTC?

I am not a table mechanic, but I can tell you what works great on my table with simonis 860 cloth.
Here is my routine for keeping my table clean:
About once a week I give it a quick vacuum with a non rotating brush.
About once a month (or more often if played on a lot) I get really hot water and mix in a tiny bit of woolite in a bucket. Wet a microfiber towel in the bucket and wring it out good. Work in in quadrants on the table and wipe it down good with the damp cloth. Re-wet the cloth between each section. I always go in the direction of the grain towards the end rails. Make sure you give the table a really good vacuuming right before you wipe it down.
When I am done cleaning the bed cloth I wipe down my pockets and ball return tray as well.
I never use a brush on my table, as I feel that only spreads / moves the dirt/dust that is on the table.
I would use the simonis cleaning tool after every use of the table, but I am too cheap to pay that much for something I don't think I will get a lot of benefit from. My table cloth looks almost brand new after I give it a good cleaning. If I used the simonis tool, I might be able to go longer between cleanings, but I don't think my table would be in any better condition.
