Dining tables endure daily wear and tear, but simple precautions can keep them looking beautiful. Use tablecloths and placemats to reduce contact with food, drinks, and utensils that could cause scratches or stains. Wipe the table after each use with a damp cloth to remove residue and prevent buildup. Always use coasters for hot dishes to protect the surface. These small habits go a long way in preserving your dining table.
