To keep your glass table top in the best possible condition, consider its placement in a room or outdoor space carefully to minimise the risk of any person or object falling onto it. Make sure pets and little children steer clear.
Whether you use the table for work or leisure, avoid placing drinks or food directly on the surface – especially if they’re hot. Use coasters and mats to limit the risk of staining or warping the glass finish.
Similarly, avoid placing laptops that can heat up directly on the glass table, or writing on paper without something underneath it – this can end up scratching the glass and marking the surface.
It’s also important to keep your glass table top clean by dusting and wiping it down regularly. First, remove any debris with a dry lint-free cloth, then use a damp microfibre cloth or sponge and a soapy water solution to clean the glass.
Glass cleaning products with harsh chemicals are more likely to damage the surface or leave streaks, so you should avoid these. Once the table is clean, you can use another dry cloth or kitchen towel to polish away any remaining smudges.
