Regular Cleaning
Glass furniture adds elegance and modernity to any space, but keeping it sparkling clean requires a little TLC. Whether you have a glass coffee table, dining table, or display cabinet, maintaining its pristine condition enhances both its beauty and longevity.
Daily Care
Regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth is essential to prevent buildup and maintain the glass’s clarity.
When it comes to cleaning glass, less is often more. Opt for gentle, non-abrasive cleaners specifically formulated for glass surfaces. Steer clear of ammonia-based cleaners, as they can leave streaks or damage the glass over time. Natural solutions like vinegar and water work wonders without harming the glass or the environment.
When cleaning, use gentle, circular motions to avoid streaking and ensure thorough cleaning.
Use coasters, placemats, or felt pads under items to prevent scratches and damage from sliding objects.
Maintaining the Shine
Vinegar Solution
Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle.
Spray the solution onto the glass surface and wipe with a soft cloth for a streak-free shine.
Microfiber Cloth
Invest in a quality microfibre cloth for polishing glass surfaces.Â
These cloths effectively lift dirt and grime without leaving behind lint or streaks.
Glass Polish
Periodically use a specialised glass polish to restore shine and remove any stubborn marks or residue.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.
Removing Marks, Spillages, and Stains
Protective Measures
Water Marks
Mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Gently rub the paste onto the water marks using a soft cloth, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Fingerprints
Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner to a soft cloth and gently wipe away fingerprints for a sparkling finish.
Grease and Oil Stains
Use a mixture of dish soap and warm water to cut through grease and oil stains. Apply the solution to the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Stubborn Stains
For stubborn stains like ink or marker, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to a cotton ball and gently dab the stain until it lifts.
Specific Care for Different Types of Glass Furniture
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rough materials that can scratch the surface. Stick to mild cleaners and soft cloths for regular maintenance.
Clean frosted glass with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or brushes that can damage the frosted finish.
Dust stained glass regularly with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using water or cleaners that can seep into the lead and cause damage.
