Accidentally spilled concrete on your outdoor table? Don’t worry—removing concrete patches is easier than you think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your table’s surface.
1. Scrape Off Excess Concrete: Use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently remove dried concrete. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches.
2. Apply Vinegar or Citric Acid: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water (or use citric acid solution) and soak the stained area. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes to soften the concrete.
3. Scrub with a Brush: Use a stiff-bristle brush to scrub the patch. For stubborn residue, repeat the vinegar application or use a commercial concrete dissolver.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Wash the table with clean water and mild soap to remove any remaining residue.
5. Prevent Future Stains: Seal the table with a protective coating to make future cleanups easier.
With these simple steps, your outdoor table will look as good as new!
