The Secret to Keeping Your Epoxy Table Looking Brand New

A wood and epoxy table is a modern fusion of natural beauty and contemporary design. These one-of-a-kind pieces combine solid wood with clear or colored epoxy resin to create functional art. Whether crafted with dramatic olive wood grain or the rich tones of walnut, these tables offer exceptional durability and visual appeal. But like any quality piece of furniture, they require the right care to maintain their finish, stability, and brilliance. In this guide, we'll explore how to properly maintain your epoxy wood table so it continues to be a stunning centerpiece in your home or workspace for years to come.

Daily Cleaning & Maintenance

Dusting and Wiping：

Keep your epoxy wood surface clean by dusting it regularly with a soft microfiber cloth. For everyday spills or light grime, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid soaking the table or leaving water on the surface for too long—this helps preserve both the wood and the resin's finish.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals：

Stay away from strong solvents, bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, or alcohol-based sprays. These can dull the glossy finish of the epoxy and may cause long-term damage to the wood or resin.

Protect from Sunlight and Heat

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause yellowing of the epoxy and fading or cracking in the wood. If possible, place your table away from large windows or use curtains or blinds to limit UV exposure.

Additionally, never place hot pots, pans, or appliances directly on the table. High temperatures can warp or scorch the epoxy and damage the wood underneath. Always use heat-resistant mats or trivets.

Humidity and Moisture Control

Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with changes in humidity. Although the epoxy stabilizes it to some extent, it's still important to:

• Maintain indoor humidity between 40-60%
• Avoid placing the table near radiators, air vents, or humidifiers
• Clean up any spills immediately to prevent water damage or staining

Prevent Scratches and Dents

Despite the resin's durability, it can still scratch if not treated with care. To protect your table:

• Use placemats, coasters, and table runners
• Don't drag items with sharp or rough edges across the surface
• Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the epoxy or wood
• For homes with pets or children, adding a clear protective cover during high-use periods can help preserve the table's finish.

Polishing and Restoration

Light Polishing:

To maintain the epoxy's shine, you can use a resin-safe polishing cream every few months. Apply with a soft cloth in circular motions and buff to a shine.

Dealing with Scratches:

Minor scratches: Use a scratch remover or polishing compound designed for epoxy surfaces.

Deep scratches or chips: These may require professional refinishing or re-pouring of epoxy. Always consult a specialist before attempting to fix major damage.

Wood Conditioning

If your table has exposed wood areas, it's beneficial to treat them with natural wood oils or waxes every 6–12 months. This keeps the wood nourished, enhances the grain, and prevents it from drying out or cracking.

Be careful not to apply oil or wax on the resin areas, as this can cause buildup and cloudiness.

Storage and Long-Term Care

If you ever need to store your epoxy wood table:

• Cover it with a breathable fabric cover (not plastic)
• Store in a climate-controlled area
• Avoid stacking items on top during storage

Why Proper Care Matters

An epoxy table is often a custom-built, one-of-a-kind piece, made with rare wood slabs and crafted with artisan precision. Whether it's a dining table, office desk, or coffee table, regular care ensures that it remains a lasting focal point in your home.

Taking care of your wood epoxy table isn't difficult, but it does require consistency. A little bit of daily attention, occasional polishing, and careful usage can keep your table gleaming and flawless for decades.
