Grout haze can leave your ceramic outdoor table looking dull and dirty, but removing it is easier than you think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restore your table’s original shine.

1. Identify the Haze

Grout haze is a cloudy residue left after tile or grout installation. It’s caused by excess grout that wasn’t fully wiped away.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. For stubborn haze, use a commercial grout haze remover.

3. Apply the Solution

Spray the mixture onto the affected areas and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Avoid letting it dry completely.

4. Scrub Gently

Use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to scrub the haze in circular motions. Avoid abrasive tools to prevent scratching.

5. Rinse Thoroughly

Wipe the table with clean water and a microfiber cloth. Repeat if necessary until the haze is gone.

6. Dry and Protect

Pat the table dry and apply a ceramic sealer to prevent future buildup.

By following these steps, your ceramic outdoor table will look as good as new! Regular maintenance will keep grout haze from returning.
