Accidentally spilled concrete on your polywood outdoor table? Don’t worry—removing it is easier than you think. Polywood is durable, but harsh scrubbing can damage its surface. Here’s a safe, step-by-step guide to restore your table.
1. Scrape Off Excess Concrete
Use a plastic scraper or a dull putty knife to gently remove dried concrete. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches.
2. Apply a Vinegar Solution
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Soak a cloth in the solution and place it over the stain for 15–20 minutes to soften the concrete.
3. Gently Scrub the Area
Use a soft-bristle brush or non-abrasive sponge to scrub the patch in circular motions. Rinse with water and repeat if needed.
4. Try Baking Soda Paste for Stubborn Stains
For tougher residue, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub gently.
5. Rinse and Dry
Wipe the table with clean water and dry it thoroughly to prevent water spots.
Prevention Tip: Cover your polywood table when working with concrete to avoid future stains. With these steps, your table will look as good as new!
For deep-set stains, consult a professional to avoid damaging the polywood finish.
