Icing stains on outdoor tables can be unsightly and difficult to remove, especially after winter weather. Fortunately, there are several effective methods to restore your table’s appearance.
1. Warm Water and Soap Solution: Start by mixing warm water with a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the stained area. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
2. Vinegar and Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, create a paste using equal parts white vinegar and baking soda. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush before rinsing.
3. Pressure Washer (For Durable Surfaces): If your table is made of metal or sturdy plastic, a low-pressure washer can help blast away stubborn ice residue. Avoid high pressure on delicate materials like wood.
4. Commercial Cleaners: Use a specialized outdoor cleaner for persistent stains. Follow the product instructions and test on a small area first to avoid damage.
5. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a protective sealant or cover your table during icy weather to minimize future staining.
By following these steps, your outdoor table will look clean and refreshed in no time!
