Abstract: A ball cleaning device adapted for use in causing a plurality of billiard balls to be cleaned under a supply of cleaning fluid comprises a housing having a generally cylindrical side wall, a top access opening and a closed bottom; a spindle rotatably fitted through the bottom of the housing to extend upwards along an axis of the housing; a turntable coaxially mounted on the spindle for rotational movement therewith, the turntable supporting the game balls; an idle wheel concentrically mounted on the turntable for rotation relative to the turntable, the idle wheel having a plurality of compartments arranged along its circumference, each of the compartments receiving the game balls in a spaced apart relationship with one another; and an electric motor for rotatably driving the spindle and the turntable in unison to subject the game balls to a random rolling movement and a planetary movement around the spindle so that the idle wheel is pushed by the game balls into rotation about the spindle.
