The Care of Glass and Mirrored Furniture


Glass and mirrored furniture can truly decorate the room. The glass table will be striking in its transparency and weightlessness, and the mirrored chest of drawers can visually merge with the walls and the floor and become almost invisible. In addition, such furniture may have different colors and textures. The built-in lights can perfectly complement it.

In order to the glass and mirror surfaces always remain shiny and flawless, the proper care is needed. After all, the presence of dirt can visibly darken them. But caring for the glass and mirrored furniture is not as complicated as it may seem at first sight.

To avoid turbid stains, use special tools and glass cleaning rags to clean glass surfaces. Ideally, the glass furniture should be cleaned daily, by removing fingerprints and dust.

Please note that the mirror surface, on the contrary, can not be washed with conventional glass detergents. Otherwise, it will darken and become hazy. Use a soft cloth and a special agent for cleaning mirrors. You can wipe the mirror surface with an ammonia.

Abrasives should be used neither for glass nor for mirrors.

If your furniture combines elements from different materials (glass, mirror, wood, metal, plastic), you need to use special tools for each element separately.

Also, try not to put very hot items on such furniture (it is related to furniture from any material). Do not leave wet objects and water drops for long to avoid stains. Make sure that the glass is wiped dry after cleaning. Handle furniture edges carefully, as they are more sensitive to shocks.
