How to Keep Your Glass Coffee Table Clean
Glass coffee tables may be aesthetically pleasing pieces of furniture, but they can also be difficult to keep clean. Luckily, there are some steps you can take to keep your glass coffee table looking fresh and new. Here are a few tips:
1. Dust Regularly
To prevent a thick layer of dust from accumulating on the glass, try to dust them off at least once a week. Use a microfiber cloth or dusting cloth to pick up pollen, dust, and other particles. To pick up any stubborn spots of debris, use a bit of rubbing alcohol on the cloth first.
2. Use a Glass Cleaner
Before cleaning your glass coffee table with a glass cleaner, make sure to test it in an inconspicuous area of the table first. Then, spray the cleaner directly onto the glass and wipe off with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. For the best results, polish the glass from the center to the edge.
3. Make Your Own Cleaner
If you prefer to avoid using commercial glass cleaners, you can create your own inexpensive and eco-friendly solution. Mix one part white vinegar and one part warm water in a spray bottle and shake to combine. Spray onto the glass, wipe off with a cloth, then buff with a microfiber cloth and watch your glass shimmer.
4. Prevent Stains
To keep your glass coffee table looking spotless, you can use a few simple techniques to avoid stains. First, make sure to always use coasters and place mats, and prompt visitors to do the same. You can also use a protective coating on the glass to add a barrier between the glass and any liquids or spills.
5. Get Rid of Smudges and Fingerprints
Sometimes, no matter how much we try to prevent them, smudges and fingerprints can find their way onto the glass of your coffee table. These can be easily remove by using a dryer sheet to wipe down the glass. The dryer sheet helps to safely remove the residue from the smudges and make the table look like new again.
It’s important to remember to keep up with the regular care of your glass coffee table in order to maintain its shine and clarity. Use the tips above to help make your glass coffee table look its best.
