Royal icing can leave stubborn stains on outdoor tables, especially after festive baking projects. Fortunately, removing these stains doesn’t require harsh chemicals—just a few household items and patience. Here’s how to restore your table’s surface:

1. Scrape Off Excess Icing: Use a plastic spatula or butter knife to gently lift away dried icing without scratching the table.

2. Damp Cloth Method: Soak a microfiber cloth in warm water and dab the stain. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the sugar residue.

3. Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply with a soft brush, then rinse with clean water. Vinegar breaks down sugar effectively.

4. Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply, let sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean.

5. Final Rinse & Dry: Always rinse the area thoroughly and dry with a towel to prevent water marks.

For sealed tables, test cleaners on a small area first. Regular maintenance keeps outdoor furniture stain-free!
