Threshold 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 stain is from rust, mildew, or organic debris like leaves. This will help you choose the right cleaning solution.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:

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

- For rust stains: Use lemon juice and baking soda paste.

- For mildew: A diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) works best.

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

4. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the table with clean water to remove any residue.

5. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a protective sealant or cover the table when not in use to minimize future staining.

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