How do I clean a large round Ethan Allen copper top coffee table ?




The table is about 8 years old and has gotten dull and dark. I think it had a laquer finish put on it but now it is dull and needs to be cleaned. Do you know how to do it?

Try ketchup!
Yep, slather ketchup on the copper top and let it sit for a while. Wipe and rinse. Mat need to touch up areas.

Hi Elizabeth. Sounds like the sealer has aged. Copper has several looks: bright, aged, patina-ed. You need to decide what you want. That will guide you on how to refinish your piece. Good luck!
Not something I would DIY with home products especially since you cannot rinse your table off to remove it all. I have huge sets of copper pot/pan/bowls & many copper collectibles I use a product called BioCleaner(get it on QVC.com( this is what it looks like https://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.V36122.html?colorId=851&sizeId=000&ref=GBA&cm_mmc=GOOGLESHOPPINGFEED-_-GShopping|L|BrandProduct|home+improvement|vacuums+cleaning-_-pla-_-s|dc_41632033626_pla-771222884774__V36122-851-000_&mkwid=s|dc_pcrid_41632033626_771222884774_pkw__pmt__productid_V36122-851-000&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzZ2ci6yN5AIVkLfsCh33uQzuEAQYAiABEgJwb_D_BwE ) or on Ebay its a clay from France non abrasive, cleans and polishes & protects it works well on my glass cooktop too as well as stainless steel like sinks and pots and pans. here is some additional info. https://www.everbritecoatings.com/copper_cleaner.htm
