Introduction to Epoxy Furniture Care
Understanding how to maintain and care epoxy furniture is essential if you want your table to maintain its original appearance for many years. Epoxy furniture combines solid wood and resin, which creates a durable yet sensitive surface that requires proper care.
At WOWbyALP, all epoxy furniture is handcrafted in our Ankara workshop by skilled artisans using epoxy resin casting techniques and solid wood slabs. Each piece is custom manufactured per order and shipped globally, backed by over 5 years of successful experience selling handcrafted furniture.

Daily Cleaning Routine
Simple Cleaning Steps
The foundation of how to maintain and care epoxy furniture starts with simple habits:
- Wipe the surface using a damp cloth
- Dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth
- Clean regularly to prevent buildup
This keeps both the epoxy surface and the wooden parts in good condition.
Deep Cleaning Methods
For deeper cleaning:
- Use warm, soapy water
- Clean with a soft sponge

Epoxy creates a protective layer, but the solid wood underneath still reacts to moisture.
What to Avoid When Cleaning Epoxy Furniture
Avoid Abrasive Materials
Even though epoxy is durable, it is not scratch-proof.
Avoid:
- Steel wool
- Hard brushes
- Rough cleaning pads
Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Protecting Your Epoxy Table from Damage
Heat and Moisture Protection
A critical part of how to maintain and care epoxy furniture is heat control:
- Always use coasters
- Use placemats for hot plates
- Never place hot items directly on the surface
Heat can soften epoxy and damage the wood structure.
Preventing Scratches and Dents
To keep your table flawless:
- Do not cut directly on the surface
- Avoid dropping heavy objects
- Keep sharp metal objects away
If you are using your table daily, choosing the right model also matters. For example, durable handcrafted epoxy dining tables are designed for long-term use →
