Outdoor tables often accumulate stubborn stains from curtain walls, which can be challenging to remove. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your table’s appearance:
1. Identify the Stain Type: Determine if the stain is from dirt, mold, or chemical residues. This helps choose the right cleaning solution.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:
- Mix warm water with mild dish soap for general stains.
- For mold or mildew, use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio).
- For tough stains, baking soda paste (baking soda + water) works well.
3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft brush or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Apply the solution and scrub in circular motions.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the table or wipe it with a damp cloth to remove residue.
5. Dry Completely: Prevent water spots by drying the table with a microfiber cloth.
For persistent stains, consider using a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance, like wiping the table after rain, can prevent future stains.
By following these steps, your outdoor table will look clean and well-maintained year-round.
