Accidents happen, and if custard has spilled on your outdoor table, don’t worry—there are easy ways to clean it up. Here’s a step-by-step guide to removing custard stains effectively:

1. Scrape Off Excess: Use a dull knife or spoon to gently scrape away any dried or excess custard. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the material.

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

3. Blot the Stain: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently blot the stained area. Work from the outside in to prevent spreading.

4. Rinse and Dry: Wipe the area with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Let it air dry or pat it dry with a towel.

5. Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains, repeat the process or use a specialized outdoor cleaner for the material (e.g., wood, plastic, or metal).

Prevention Tip: To avoid future stains, consider using a tablecloth or placemats when serving messy foods outdoors.

With these simple steps, your outdoor table will look as good as new!
