2. Homemade cleaning solution

Just mix 2-3 drops of a mild dishwashing liquid in a cup of lukewarm water. Dip a cloth in it, squeeze out all the water until it’s just damp, and wipe the table. For greasy spots, apply a little more pressure. Immediately wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

Adopt these habits to maintain the table’s shine

To keep your table looking new, always use placemats or a tablecloth during meals. Never place hot pots directly on the wood; use trivets. Use coasters for tea or coffee cups to avoid those round water stains. Applying a good quality wood conditioner every few months also adds a protective layer and keeps it shining for longer.

How to remove stubborn stains?

For greasy stains, mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and wipe with a cloth. To remove water rings from glasses, use a hairdryer on low heat a few inches away from the stain. Once it fades, apply a little furniture oil. You can also place a cotton cloth over the stain and press a warm iron on it for a few seconds.
