Why cleaning a glass table?
Glass is a material that easily attracts dust, stains and fingerprints. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the shine and transparency of your table. What's more, a clean glass table reflects light better, giving your room a cleaner, more spacious feel.
The tools you need
Before you start, make sure you have the right tools at hand:
- Microfiber cloth: Ideal for removing dust and product residues without leaving residues.
- Glass cleaner: A glass-specific product is recommended
- Warm water: For rinsing and diluting products
- Spray bottle: to apply the cleaner evenly
- White vinegar: A natural solution for deep cleaning
- Newsprint: For streak-free drying
Step by step
1. Preparation
Start by clearing the table of all objects. This will allow you to clean the surface without any obstacles.
2. Remove dust
Use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Wipe the table in a circular motion to avoid leaving streaks.
3. Apply cleaner
Spray a small amount of glass cleaner onto the table surface. Be sure to cover the entire surface for even cleaning.
4. Rub gently
Using the microfiber cloth, rub gently in a circular motion. This will distribute the cleaner evenly and remove stains.
5. Rinse and dry
Soak a microfiber cloth in lukewarm water and rinse your table to remove any cleaner residue. Then dry the surface with newspaper to avoid streaking. Newsprint is an excellent option because it's lint-free and absorbs moisture well.
Practical tips
Use white vinegar
For thorough cleaning, you can use white vinegar diluted in water. Mix a quarter of white vinegar with three quarters of lukewarm water and spray the solution onto the table. Leave for a few minutes before wiping and rinsing with a microfiber cloth.
Avoid abrasive products
Abrasive products such as scouring sponges or cleaners containing ammonia can scratch glass. Always use mild products and microfiber cloths to avoid damaging the surface.
Regular cleaning
Regular cleaning is the key to keeping your glass table looking its best. Try to clean the table at least once a week to avoid the build-up of dust and stains.
