Butterscotch stains on an outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can restore your table’s appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively remove these sticky stains:
1. Scrape Off Excess: Use a plastic scraper or a dull knife to gently remove any dried butterscotch residue. Avoid scratching the table surface.
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 to create a paste.
3. Apply the Solution: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently scrub the stained area. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to loosen the stain.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use clean water to rinse the area, ensuring no soap or vinegar residue remains.
5. Dry the Surface: Wipe the table dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots or further damage.
For persistent stains, consider using a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor furniture. Always test any solution on a small, hidden area first to avoid discoloration. Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor table looking its best!
