Use a soft sponge that won’t leave any marks or scratches on the glass. Avoid materials like steel wool when you go to spread the baking soda.

When you work near the edges of the table, consider holding a small basin or bucket to catch any vinegar that drips off of the table.

Continue using a spare container or bucket to catch any excess fluid. You can buy a squeegee in the car supply section of a store, or you can purchase one online.

You can also use a tiny squirt of dish soap on a wet paper towel if you don’t want to use a cleaning spray.

If you don’t want to use a lot of small coasters, consider putting a tablecloth or runner over the table instead.

Rub a small, cheap glass mirror with the newspaper first to make sure that the newspaper doesn’t have harsh ink that will damage your table’s surface.

If you live with multiple people, consider alternating the cleaning duties.
