One of the best things about choosing porcelain? It’s surprisingly easy to live with. Unlike wood that needs regular oiling or marble that requires careful sealing, your porcelain table is ready to handle whatever life throws at it.
Why Porcelain Makes Life Easier
Because porcelain is completely non-porous, it naturally resists bacteria and stays hygienic—perfect for everything from casual breakfast prep to serious dinner party hosting. You can chop directly on it without worry, place hot pans straight from the oven, and never stress about red wine spills or tomato sauce splatters. Coffee rings? Not a problem. The kind of stains that would permanently mark other surfaces simply wipe away.

Your Daily Routine (It’s Really This Simple)
For everyday cleaning, warm water and a soft microfibre cloth are all you need. Dry with a second cloth, and if your surface has a polished finish, give it a quick buff to restore that gorgeous shine. That’s it—you’re done.
When You Need to Get Serious
For tougher cleaning jobs, sugar soap or your regular household cleaners work perfectly. Just avoid anything with extreme pH levels (very acidic or very alkaline) and steer clear of abrasive sponges that might dull the finish. Always test any new cleaning product on a small, hidden area first—better safe than sorry.
The Golden Rule
Clean spills quickly, especially on polished surfaces. While porcelain resists stains beautifully, the sooner you deal with spills, the easier your life becomes.
Professional Recommendations
For regular maintenance and that extra sparkle, we recommend specialist ceramic cleaners from Fila Solutions and Lithofin. They’re formulated specifically for porcelain and will keep your table looking showroom-fresh for years to come.
What to Avoid
Skip the polishing machines, waxes, and anything containing hydrofluoric acid—these can damage even the toughest porcelain. When in doubt, gentle is always better.
The beauty of porcelain is that with just a little care, it rewards you with decades of effortless elegance.
