Outdoor tables are prone to unsightly post stains caused by rust, dirt, or moisture. Fortunately, removing these stains is easier than you think. 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, mold, or organic debris. Rust stains require a different approach than organic ones.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:

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

- For organic stains: Use a paste of baking soda and water.

- For tough stains: A mild dish soap solution with warm water works well.

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft brush or sponge to apply the solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent surface damage.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Wash off the solution with clean water and dry the table completely to prevent new stains.

5. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a protective sealant or wax to your outdoor table to repel moisture and dirt.

For persistent stains, consider commercial cleaners designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will keep your table looking pristine for years!
