Water spots on your glass-top outdoor furniture can be an unsightly nuisance, but removing them is simpler than you might think. The most common and effective method involves using a simple vinegar solution. Here is a step-by-step guide.
First, create a cleaning solution by mixing equal parts white vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle. Vinegar's acidity helps to break down the mineral deposits left by hard water. For tougher stains, you can use undiluted vinegar.
Next, generously spray the solution onto the glass surface, ensuring you cover all the spotted areas. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to dissolve the mineral buildup. Do not let the solution dry on the glass.
Then, using a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth, wipe the glass in a circular motion. The microfiber material is excellent for lifting grime without scratching. For persistent spots, you can make a paste from baking soda and water, apply it gently, and then wipe it away with the vinegar spray and cloth.
Finally, rinse the table thoroughly with clean water to remove any residual vinegar or baking soda. Dry the surface completely with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to prevent new water spots from forming immediately.
To maintain a spotless finish, regularly wipe down your table after rain or dew and consider using a protective glass-top sealant to make future cleaning even easier.
