Cleat stains on an outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can restore its appearance. Here’s how:
1. Mix a Cleaning Solution: Combine warm water with mild dish soap or a 1:1 vinegar-water mixture. For tougher stains, add baking soda to create a paste.
2. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub the stained area in circular motions. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the table’s surface.
3. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the table with clean water to remove any residue.
4. Try Specialized Cleaners: For persistent stains, use a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor furniture. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a protective sealant to the table to make future cleaning easier.
Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor table looking pristine, even after heavy use.
