- 1). Clean dry debris from an indoor tabletop weekly with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth or duster. If you're dealing with an outdoor table, brush or vacuum leaves or dirt from the surface weekly.
- 2). Wipe or vacuum up a dry spill or wipe away a wet spill with an almost-dry damp cloth as soon as it occurs. If you're dealing with an unsealed tabletop, dry the copper thoroughly when finished with another cloth to prevent moisture-related corrosion.
- 3). Fill a large spray bottle with vinegar and 3 tbsp. salt if your copper tabletop has a stain or corrosion spot. Spray only the stained or corroded area and wait two minutes.
- 4). Rub the area gently with a cloth or nonabrasive -- nylon or glass-safe -- scrubbing pad. Repeat as needed. When finished, rinse the vinegar and salt solution away immediately with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- 5). Apply paste wax to lacquered or waxed copper tabletops at least twice a year or after stain removal. Buff the wax with a soft cloth to shine the surface.
