I have these tables and they are tarnished. Windex does not work. What is the next step to cleaning the surface?

You have to buff it. Home Depot carries some products that make metals shine.

I've never cleaned brushes, but to remove this from copper plates, we use washing soda. Also, LA Awesome removes most acrylic products, along with its intended use to clean dirt, grease and other stuff. It will remove acrylic paint from tables, so try that. Or, washing soda. I use Pledge as a varnish to make printing plates directly or on copper as an acid resist. Like the other reply, if all else fails, ammonia works. I just don't like the smell!

I actually haven't tried cleaning it yet (I don't use it everyday) I would try alcohol or a general Pledge product (for cleaning everything from TVs to windows). Hope that helps!

You can use an SOS pad on the handle. It will take the tarnish off and make it shiny again.

I would try some windex or some dish cleaner--- maybe even some eyeglass cleaner. Hope this helps!

I have the same issue, and am looking for solutions. Obviously don't want to use chemicals in the air washer--so maybe white vinegar, to dissolve these deposits?

You should never use windex on lcd screens and probably not even on the surface, because it contains ammonia. I have a Macbook Pro and it shows lots of smudges too, i found a little soap on a wet paper towel does better than most everything else, and it won't hurt it.

Hand wash soap and water, then use leather polish (the polish will help keep it cleaner later too, I use a dull polish on most my leather goods, to not give it a shine, unless you want that). This is how i clean all my leather products.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

Try running a vinegar/water solution through it and then the baking soda. That may take care of it.

The table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

Wenol would be perfect for cleaning a tarnished copper tub. I just restored an antique brass bed that was badly tarnished. I tried Brasso, Wright's Copper Cream and Wenol. Wenol was BY FAR the superior product. Just apply a small amount with a clean cotton cloth and rub it in. Be prepared--it takes a lot of rubbing but you'll love the results!

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

We had the same problem. First i just dishwash soap and a brush to get it off. Didnt work. Then i out some hand soap on the stains, rubbed it in with my fingers, let it sit for an hour and then washed it off. All stains were gone!

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to this very same question. The only idea that I have comeup with is - number 1 - take them to the cleaners and have them steam them, or in the alternative, buy a steamer and do it yourself. Let me know if you got any other answers. I went on youtube for a video also and did not find anything to help. Miele does nothing to help. embry7808@yahoo.com

Lightly sand it and just wipe clean. That's what I did. My cabinets are amazing!
