Cleaning, care, and maintenance of table tops

In the business world, especially within cafes and restaurants, tabletops are not only a functional element but also a part of the overall atmosphere and customer experience.

At Zederkof, we understand the importance of preserving the beauty and functionality of tabletops.

If you want to ensure your tabletops a long and happy life, ongoing maintenance is the way forward.

Maintenance is not just cleaning; it is equally about proper handling and storage. Maintenance does not have to be a cumbersome and time-consuming affair, but rather good and simple routines that quickly become part of daily life.

How to maintain your table tops

Avoid lifting the tabletop alone when the table needs to be moved. The screws that secure the tabletop to the base will loosen due to the weight on the base.

You also have the option to purchase style screws for undercarriage for stability during wear hereTables should not be stacked on top of each other, as illustrated in the image below, since the underside of the laminate tabletops cannot withstand water and the tabletops can also become scratched.

Brass/copper edges should be polished once a month with a polish designed for brass and copper respectively.

In this video, we show the correct installation of a tabletop on a base, as proper installation is important for durability.

Care of laminate countertops

Laminate tabletops are known for their durability and easy maintenance. But like all surfaces, they can be exposed to grease, scratches, rings, and stains.

Cleaning of laminate tabletop:

Start with a soft cloth and warm water. To extend the lifespan of your laminate tabletop, we recommend regular maintenance.

Use a soft cloth to wipe the tabletop after each use to prevent water spots and grease stains.

To remove grease stains, a mild soap solution or laminate cleaner may be effective.

Care of wooden tabletops

Wooden tabletops add a warm and natural charm to any room. However, wood is also a living material that requires special attention.

Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild soap or soap flakes. Avoid leaving water on the surface, as it can cause stains or warping of the wood.

Treatment: To protect the wood from stains and scratches, it is recommended to treat it with a good wood oil or wax regularly. Untreated wooden tabletops should always be oil-treated as needed.

Care: Avoid placing hot objects directly on the wooden tabletop. Always use coasters.

Care of steel table tops

Steel tabletops are both stylish and durable, but they can also be prone to scratches and stains.

For cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Always wipe the surface dry with a dry cloth to prevent stains.

Avoid using sharp objects directly on the steel tabletop. Use coasters to protect the surface.
