Weep hole stains on outdoor tables are a common issue caused by rust, dirt, or mineral deposits. These unsightly marks can detract from your patio's appearance, but removing them is easier than you think.

Start by mixing equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Apply the solution to the stained areas and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. The mild acidity helps break down rust and mineral buildup. For tougher stains, use a paste of baking soda and water, scrubbing gently with a soft-bristled brush.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry the surface completely. To prevent future stains, apply a clear sealant or wax to protect the metal around weep holes. Regular maintenance, including wiping down your table after rain, will keep it looking pristine.

For persistent rust stains, commercial rust removers or a lemon juice and salt mixture can be effective alternatives. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure they won't damage your table's finish.
