Accidents happen, and if sour cream has spilled on your outdoor table, don’t worry—it’s easy to clean with the right approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide to remove sour cream stains and restore your table’s appearance.
1. Blot the Stain Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the excess sour cream. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap. For tougher stains, add a tablespoon of baking soda or white vinegar for extra cleaning power.
3. Scrub Gently: Dip a soft sponge or brush into the solution and gently scrub the stained area in circular motions. Rinse with clean water afterward.
4. Disinfect if Needed: If the stain has lingered, wipe the area with a mixture of water and mild bleach (1:10 ratio) to prevent odors or bacteria.
5. Dry Thoroughly: Use a dry towel to remove moisture and let the table air-dry completely.
For stubborn stains, repeat the process or use a commercial outdoor cleaner. Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor furniture looking its best!
