Accidentally dropping cheesecake on your outdoor furniture can leave stubborn stains, but don’t worry—there are easy ways to clean it up. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your furniture’s appearance.
1. Scrape Off Excess: Use a dull knife or spoon to gently remove any leftover cheesecake. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric or surface.
2. Blot the Stain: Dab the affected area with a clean, damp cloth to lift as much residue as possible. For fabric cushions, use a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water, then blot again.
3. Apply a Cleaning Solution:
- For plastic or metal furniture: Mix baking soda and water into a paste, apply it to the stain, and scrub lightly with a soft brush.
- For fabric: Use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to break down grease. Test on a hidden area first.
4. Rinse and Dry: Rinse with clean water and let the furniture air-dry completely. For fabric, avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
5. Prevent Future Stains: Consider using furniture covers or treating surfaces with a protective spray to make cleaning easier.
With these simple steps, your outdoor furniture will look as good as new!
