Keeping your outdoor table free from smudges requires a combination of regular maintenance and protective measures. Start by cleaning the surface frequently with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to remove dirt and oils that cause smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish. Applying a protective sealant or wax can create a barrier against moisture and stains. For metal or glass tables, use a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks. Cover the table when not in use to shield it from dust and rain. These simple steps will help maintain a smudge-free, polished look for your outdoor table all year round.
