The care of your dining table will depend on the material and finish. For wood tables, regular dusting and occasional polishing with furniture polish or wax can help keep the table looking its best. Glass tables should be cleaned with a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Metal tables should be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water, followed by drying with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Plastic tables can be cleaned with soap and water or a mild detergent.
