Caramel stains on an outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can restore its clean surface. Start by scraping off excess caramel with a plastic spatula or dull knife. Avoid using sharp tools to prevent scratches.

Next, mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap and gently scrub the stain using a soft-bristled brush or sponge. For tougher residues, apply a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub again.

If the stain persists, white vinegar or rubbing alcohol can break down the sticky residue. Dab a cloth with either solution and blot the area, then rinse with water. For wooden tables, avoid harsh chemicals and opt for mild soap to protect the finish.

Finally, dry the table thoroughly to prevent watermarks. Regular maintenance and quick action will keep your outdoor furniture looking pristine.
