Accidents happen, and custard stains on outdoor furniture can be a frustrating mess. Fortunately, removing them doesn’t require harsh chemicals—just a few household items and some patience. Here’s how to tackle custard stains effectively:

1. Blot the Stain Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the excess custard. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a small amount of dish soap or mild detergent. For tougher stains, add a tablespoon of white vinegar or baking soda for extra cleaning power.

3. Scrub Gently: Dip a soft-bristled brush or sponge into the solution and lightly scrub the stained area in circular motions. Rinse with clean water afterward.

4. Treat Persistent Stains: If the stain lingers, apply a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub and rinse.

5. Dry Thoroughly: Wipe the area with a dry cloth and let it air-dry completely to prevent watermarks or mildew.

For fabric cushions, check the care label first. If machine-washable, use a gentle cycle with stain remover. For non-washable fabrics, spot-clean with a mild upholstery cleaner.

Prevent future stains by treating outdoor furniture with a fabric protector or keeping food and drinks away from seating areas. With these simple steps, your furniture will look as good as new!
