Keeping your outdoor table stain-free, especially from mustard, can be a challenge. Mustard contains turmeric and vinegar, which can leave stubborn yellow marks if not cleaned promptly. Here’s how to protect your table:

1. Act Quickly: Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent the stain from setting.

2. Use a Protective Cover: Place a tablecloth or waterproof cover when serving condiments like mustard.

3. Seal the Surface: Apply a sealant or outdoor furniture wax to create a barrier against stains.

4. Clean with Mild Soap: Mix warm water with dish soap and gently scrub the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.

5. Try Baking Soda Paste: For tough stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it, and rinse after 10 minutes.

Regular maintenance and quick action will help keep your outdoor table looking pristine, even after messy meals!
