Molasses stains on an outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, they can be removed effectively. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tackle the mess:

1. Scrape Off Excess Molasses: Use a dull knife or spatula to gently scrape away as much molasses as possible without scratching the table surface.

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

3. Scrub the Stain: Dip a soft-bristled brush or sponge into the solution and gently scrub the stained area in circular motions. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the table’s finish.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a damp cloth or hose to rinse the area with clean water, ensuring no soap residue remains.

5. Dry the Surface: Wipe the table dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots or further staining.

For persistent stains, repeat the process or try a specialized outdoor cleaner. Regular maintenance and prompt cleaning will keep your outdoor table looking its best!
