How to Keep a Glass Coffee Table Clean
Glass coffee tables create an elegant look in any room, but they can also quickly accumulate dirt and fingerprints. Keeping it clean is essential to keep it in good condition and make sure it looks great. Here are some tips to help keep your coffee table looking spotless:
Dust Regularly
Dust your coffee table at least once a week to get rid of the dust, dirt and pet hair that can accumulate quickly. A microfiber cloth works better than a traditional feather duster since it grabs the dust particles better.
Glass Cleaner
After dusting, spray a small amount of glass cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wipe the table. This will get rid of any stubborn fingerprints or smudges, and will help give it a shiny finish.
Removing Stains
To remove any stubborn stains, mix equal parts water and white vinegar and apply it to the stained area. Let sit for a few minutes and then wipe it away with a soft cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Keep in mind that harsh chemicals can damage the glass and should be avoided. Avoid using cleansers with ammonia, bleach or vinegar, as these can damage the glass over time.
Protecting the Glass
To help keep your coffee table clean:
- Use coasters for drinks and avoid putting anything directly on the glass that could leave a stain.
- Apply wax to reduce scratching and smudges from dust particles.
- Avoid eating around the table or any other activities that could result in stains.
By regularly dusting, using glass cleaner and wiping away stains, you can keep your glass coffee table clean and looking great. Just be sure to avoid harsh chemicals and use protection when necessary to maintain its shine and prevent any damage.
