Sauce stains on outdoor furniture can be stubborn, but with the right techniques, you can restore your patio pieces to their original condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tackling those pesky stains:

1. Blot Immediately: Use a clean cloth to blot fresh stains gently. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain.

2. Dish Soap Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Dip a soft brush or sponge into the solution and scrub the stain in circular motions. Rinse with clean water afterward.

3. Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub and rinse.

4. Vinegar Spray: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the stain, let it sit for 5 minutes, then wipe with a damp cloth.

5. Commercial Cleaners: If DIY methods fail, use a mild outdoor furniture cleaner. Follow the product instructions carefully.

Prevent future stains by cleaning spills promptly and using protective covers. Regular maintenance keeps your furniture looking fresh and extends its lifespan.
