Tips to clean a glass table and make it shine

After years of grumbling about glass (I confess), I discovered an easy and effective way to keep it looking new. No expensive products or impossible rituals. Just what really works, and with a touch of practical elegance.

Step-by-step to clean your glass table

• Step 1: Dust with a dry microfiber cloth. No paper towels.

• Step 2: Spray a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water.

• Step 3: Wipe with another clean cloth, using circular motions.

• Step 4: Dry immediately with a dry cloth to prevent streaks.

Friendly advice from experience: If there are sticky residues, use hot water with neutral soap first. And yes, forget the scourer (no matter how tempting it is).

How to prevent marks on your glass dining table

Once clean, the key is to keep it sparkling without obsessing. These ideas help (says someone who now loves her glass table):

• Use pretty coasters.

• Avoid placing hot plates directly on the glass.

• Add a centerpiece with flowers or candles to protect and display it.
