Creasing stains on an outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can restore its appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle these unsightly marks.

1. Identify the Stain Type: Determine if the stain is from rust, mildew, or food residue. This will help you choose the right cleaning solution.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:

- For organic stains (mildew, algae), mix equal parts white vinegar and water.

- For rust stains, use lemon juice and baking soda paste.

- For general dirt, mild dish soap with warm water works well.

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Apply the solution and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the table or wipe it with a damp cloth to remove any residue.

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