Accidentally got paint splatters on your outdoor table? Don’t worry—there are simple and effective ways to restore its look without damaging the surface. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle those stubborn stains.

1. Identify the Paint Type:

- Water-based paint: Easier to remove with soapy water or vinegar.

- Oil-based paint: Requires stronger solvents like rubbing alcohol or acetone.

2. Gentle Scrubbing Method:

- Mix warm water with mild dish soap.

- Use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the splatters.

- Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

3. Vinegar or Baking Soda Paste:

- For tougher stains, apply white vinegar or a baking soda paste (baking soda + water).

- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing lightly.

4. Solvent for Stubborn Stains:

- Dab a small amount of rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover (for oil-based paint) on a cloth.

- Test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid discoloration.

5. Pressure Washing (for durable surfaces):

- Use a low-pressure setting to avoid damaging the table.

- Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away from the surface.

6. Prevent Future Stains:

- Cover the table when painting nearby.

- Apply a protective sealant for easier cleanup.

With these methods, your outdoor table will be paint-free and ready for use again! Always test cleaning solutions on a small area first to ensure compatibility.
