Glazing bead stains on a polywood outdoor table can be unsightly, but with the right approach, they can be removed easily. Polywood is a durable material, but it still requires proper care to maintain its appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tackle those stubborn stains:

1. Gather Supplies: You’ll need mild dish soap, warm water, a soft sponge or cloth, a plastic scraper, and a vinegar-water solution (1:1 ratio). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the polywood surface.

2. Initial Cleaning: Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water. Gently scrub the stained area with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel.

3. Vinegar Solution: For tougher stains, apply the vinegar-water solution to the glazing bead stains. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub lightly with the sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. Plastic Scraper: If residue remains, use a plastic scraper to carefully lift the stain without scratching the surface. Follow up with another round of cleaning if needed.

5. Prevent Future Stains: To avoid future issues, clean your polywood table regularly and use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from spills and debris.

By following these steps, your polywood outdoor table will look as good as new, free from glazing bead stains and ready for outdoor enjoyment.
