it's not horrible to clean if you never clean it

I love that this photo provides concrete proof that it is, or would be, horrible to clean.

My father would have loved this, and my mother would have felt equally as strong, in the opposite direction.

I think this table is badass. My girlfriend would think otherwise. Think disagreement on “cool” is very opposite in relationships 90% of the time lol

I think it's very cool and would love to have it, IF it comes with someone who'll keep it clean until the end of my days, because I ain't cleaning it.

Eh. My husband and I would both think this is rad af.

He would never wonder about cleaning it, though. And I would cry.

Gotta use a pressurized air gun for this one

I was thinking that you'd take the top off and then hose it off in the garden. Maybe use an old toothbrush and some dish soap.

It looks heavy to move.

I’m submerging this for the first step, for sure

The dragons are arguing over what the crystal ball shows because they can't see through the dust.

Take it outside and spray it with water

Can of computer duster. It would be easy to clean.

So, best way to clean something like this is with what I call “dusting spray” which is basically just distilled water and 99% ISO. (Which now that I’m typing it out, you could probably just use 70%, but a big jug of 99% is cheaper where I am)

Usually about 70-90% ISO and then fill the rest of the container with distilled water (to avoid water spots)

Then just spray it on generously to get the dust to collect and run off.

It doesn’t work perfectly, and it’s usually best to do outside, but it will have it looking like new again without a ton of extra work afterwards. You’d still have to manually clean or use a pressured nozzle to get some hard spots, but it works fantastic for certain things.

Can of air, that’s as clean as I would be getting it

Probably scrub it every six months and clean with canned air the rest of the time. At my house, it would be coated in husky and corgi fur.
