Why Your Restaurant Tables Feel Sticky (And How to Fix It for Less Than 1p) April 22 2026

Sticky tables aren’t just unpleasant, they’re often a sign your cleaning products are doing more harm than good. Standard kitchen sanitisers, while effective on hard surfaces, can slowly break down lacquered wood finishes, leaving tables dull, tacky and prone to damage.

The result? A poor guest experience and costly repairs or replacements. Switching to a cleaner designed for lacquered surfaces helps protect your tables, maintain their appearance, and avoid unnecessary long-term costs, all while delivering a better first impression.
