    Abstract: A billiard table cleaning device for autonomous cleaning of a playing surface of a billiard table includes a housing, which defines an interior space and which has at least one linear side. A drive unit is engaged to a bottom of the housing and is configured to selectively motivate the housing across a playing surface of a billiard table. A vacuum assembly is engaged to the housing and is positioned in the interior space. The vacuum assembly suctions air and debris, such as chalk dust, through slots positioned in the bottom and expels filtered air through vents positioned in or proximate to a top of the housing, thereby cleaning the playing surface.
