Lug stains on outdoor tables can be stubborn, but with the right techniques, they can be removed easily. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your table’s appearance:

1. Identify the Stain Type: Determine if the stain is from rust, dirt, or organic matter, as this affects the cleaning method.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:

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

- For organic stains: Use a mild soap and warm water solution.

- For tough stains: Baking soda paste (baking soda + water) works wonders.

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Apply the solution and scrub in circular motions.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Wash off the solution with clean water to prevent residue buildup.

5. Dry and Protect: Wipe the table dry and apply a protective sealant if needed to prevent future stains.

For persistent stains, repeat the process or consider commercial cleaners designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will keep your table looking pristine.
