| Glass Furniture Parts--Care and Cleaning Information |
Care Glass is used for some table tops, and doors of cabinets and bookcases. It resists most chemicals and stains. It can be permanently scratched, so do not move rough objects across it, and do not use abrasives on it. Though table tops are heavy and strong, glass can be broken or cracked by hard blows.
Cleaning Clean with mild alkaline solution, such as 2 tablespoons ammonia to 1 quart water, and polish dry with paper towels. Or a commercial glass cleaner may be used. Be very careful that no glass cleaner gets on the wood surrounding the glass as this can damage the wood finish; if using spray cleaner bottle, spray only center of glass panel, and spread to edges with cloth, sponge or paper towels.
