Keeping Glass Coffee Table Clean
Glass coffee tables are stunning and elegant addition to any living space, but if not cared for, can quickly attract dirt and dust. Here are a few practical steps to follow to keep your glass tables clean:
Daily Cleaning
- Lightly dust table top with a clean dry cloth.
- Use a soft wood aerosol polish on wood frames.
- If needed, moisten a lint-free lint cloth with water and carefully clean the glass top.
Removing Stains
- Use a razor blade to scrape off any hard dried spots.
- Mix baking soda and vinegar to make a bubble-like paste and rub it over the stain with a soft cloth.
- Let the paste sit for 10 minutes and then rub the area gently with a warm damp cloth to remove the paste.
- Never rub the surface with rough materials or cloths as it could scratch the glass.
Preventative Care
- Regularly dust your glass furniture and make sure to use a lint-free cloth for any wet cleaning.
- Once a week, spray a glass cleaner over the table and thoroughly wipe it down with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Place furniture protectors under all legs of the table and make sure to move them regularly to prevent the legs from wearing down.
- Always use coasters and place mats when serving food or beverages.
It doesn’t take too much effort to keep your glass coffee table looking great. With regular dusting, cleaning and preventative care, you can make sure your glass furniture will stay looking as good as new.
