Water spots on glass-top outdoor furniture can be frustrating, but they are surprisingly easy to remove with common household items. The most effective and natural method involves using white vinegar and water.
Start by creating a cleaning solution of equal parts white vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle. White vinegar is a mild acid that breaks down the mineral deposits left behind by water. For tougher spots, you can use undiluted vinegar. Spray the solution generously onto the glass surface, ensuring it's completely covered. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the vinegar to dissolve the spots.
Next, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda directly onto the stubborn spots. The baking soda will act as a gentle, non-abrasive scrubber. Using a soft, non-scratch sponge or a microfiber cloth, gently scrub the entire surface in a circular motion. The combination of vinegar and baking soda will create a fizzing action that helps lift the spots.
Finally, rinse the table thoroughly with clean water. Use a squeegee to remove the water and prevent new spots from forming, or dry it completely with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth. For ongoing maintenance, regularly wiping down the table after rain or watering can prevent water spots from building up in the future. This simple method will restore the crystal-clear shine to your outdoor furniture.
