Truss stains on outdoor tables can be unsightly and stubborn, but with the right techniques, you can restore your table’s appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively remove these stains:

1. Identify the Stain Type: Determine if the truss stain is from rust, dirt, or organic matter, as this will influence your cleaning approach.

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 stubborn stains: Baking soda paste (baking soda + water) works wonders.

3. Scrub Gently: Apply the solution to the stain and scrub with a soft brush or sponge. Avoid abrasive tools that could damage the table’s surface.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use clean water to rinse off the solution, ensuring no residue remains.

5. Dry and Protect: Wipe the table dry and consider applying a protective sealant to prevent future stains.

For persistent stains, commercial cleaners designed for outdoor furniture may be necessary. Regular maintenance will keep your table looking pristine for years to come.
