Glass Care Instructions
Step 1
Always handle Glass with care. Glass is breakable, but when it is a table, guests won't think twice about setting a coffee mug or their keys on it. Provide cork coasters to keep glasses from scratching and use decorative place mats under your vases or other ornamental items.
Step 2
Clean your glass table with non-caustic solutions only. A mild detergent, mixed with warm water is often enough, but if you need more cleaning power, add a small amount of ammonia to the solution.
Step 3
Buff with a soft cloth. Brushed cotton is fine, but the new micro-suede fabrics are even better. Make sure your cloth is clean each time you dry your table to prevent scratching.
Step 4
Repair broken or chipped glass with clear epoxy. Align the edges carefully when applying the adhesive and use clear strapping tape to hold the edges together until the epoxy sets. Allow 72 hours before taking the tape off. After repair, keep the glass out of sunlight to prevent the adhesive from yellowing.
Step 5
Fill a spray bottle with an environmentally-friendly combination of baking soda in warm water and add some white vinegar to make a quick grime remover for glass. You can spray it on and let it soak if you need to for loosening stuck-on gunk.
