Here’s a detailed guide on how to maintain different dining table materials from ARV Furniture so they stay beautiful and last longer:

1. Solid Wood Dining Tables
Daily Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Avoid Moisture: Do not leave water rings or spills—wipe immediately.

Polishing: Use wood polish or beeswax every few months to maintain luster.

Protection: Use placemats, tablecloths, and coasters to prevent scratches and heat marks.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause fading and warping.

2. Glass Top Dining Tables
Cleaning: Use a glass cleaner and lint-free cloth for a streak-free shine.

Avoid Abrasives: Never use harsh scrubs that may scratch the surface.

Stability Check: Tighten screws or supports regularly to avoid wobbling.

Protection: Place felt pads under decorations to prevent scratches.

3. Marble Dining Tables
Daily Care: Wipe with a soft damp cloth—avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, etc.).

Sealing: Apply a marble sealant yearly to prevent staining.

Spill Management: Blot spills immediately to avoid absorption.

Protection: Use placemats and coasters to prevent etching and stains.

4. Metal Dining Tables (Chrome, Steel, Iron)
Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soapy water.

Polishing: For chrome, use a chrome polish to keep it shiny.

Rust Prevention: Keep dry; if rust appears, gently sand and apply a rust-resistant coating.

Avoid Scratches: Use mats under heavy or sharp objects.

5. Laminate or Veneer Dining Tables
Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap—avoid soaking the surface.

Avoid Heat: Always use heat-resistant pads for hot dishes.

Scratch Prevention: Don’t drag sharp items directly on the surface.

Moisture Protection: Quickly wipe spills to avoid swelling or peeling.

6. Upholstered Dining Tables
Dusting: Vacuum fabric surfaces gently to remove crumbs and dust.

Spot Cleaning: Use a fabric cleaner suitable for the upholstery type.

Fabric Protection: Consider applying a fabric protector spray.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Reduces fading over time.
