Rainscreen stains on outdoor tables can be unsightly and challenging to remove, but with the right approach, your patio furniture can look as good as new. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively clean these stubborn marks.

1. Identify the Stain Type: Rainscreen stains often result from water mixing with dirt or mineral deposits. Check if the stain is organic (like algae) or mineral-based (like rust or hard water spots).

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:

- For organic stains: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water.

- For mineral deposits: Use a solution of baking soda and water or a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor furniture.

3. Scrub Gently: Apply the solution to the stained area and scrub with a soft-bristle brush or sponge. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the table’s surface.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a hose or bucket of clean water to rinse off the cleaning solution. Repeat if necessary.

5. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a protective sealant or wax to your table to repel water and dirt. Regular cleaning can also prevent buildup.

For tough stains, consider using a pressure washer on a low setting, but test a small area first to avoid damage. With these tips, your outdoor table will stay clean and inviting for years to come!
