If your table is covered with urethane, caring for it is very simple. Cleaning and protecting the table's surface will be your primary concerns.
Things You Will Need
-
Wet a cloth in warm, sudsy water and use it to wipe the table.
-
Use white vinegar periodically to wipe the table. White vinegar is a gentle, yet effective cleaner, deodorizer and mild disinfectant.
-
Dust the table with a microfiber cloth. Don't use furniture oil or polish, which can dull the urethane finish.
-
Position your table in an area that has a moderate temperature and is free of moisture.
-
Keep the table out of direct sunlight, which can damage and fade the urethane coating.
The Drip Cap
- Urethane finishes, which are also referred to as "polyurethane" finishes, are popular because they are more resistant to moisture and heat than regular varnish finishes.
- You need to periodically clean a urethane-coated table on which you work or eat to keep it sanitary and looking good.
