Accidentally got spray paint on your polywood outdoor table? Don’t worry—there are safe and effective ways to remove it without harming the material. Polywood is durable, but harsh chemicals can damage its finish, so gentle methods are key.
1. Soap and Warm Water: Start with mild dish soap and warm water. Scrub gently with a soft cloth or sponge. This works for fresh paint stains.
2. Rubbing Alcohol or Nail Polish Remover: For tougher stains, dab a cloth with rubbing alcohol or acetone-free nail polish remover. Test a small area first to ensure no discoloration.
3. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Apply to the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub lightly and rinse.
4. Commercial Paint Removers: Use a non-abrasive paint remover designed for plastics. Follow the instructions carefully to avoid damage.
5. Pressure Washing (Carefully): If the stain persists, a low-pressure water spray may help, but avoid high pressure to prevent surface damage.
Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning and apply a UV-protectant sealant to maintain your table’s longevity. With these steps, your polywood table will look as good as new!
