Chimichurri is a delicious sauce, but its vibrant green color and oily base can leave stubborn stains on outdoor tables. To protect your furniture, follow these simple steps:

1. Use a Tablecloth or Placemats – A quick and easy solution is to cover the table with a washable tablecloth or silicone placemats before serving chimichurri.

2. Apply a Protective Sealant – If your table is made of wood or metal, consider applying a waterproof sealant to create a barrier against stains.

3. Clean Spills Immediately – Wipe up any chimichurri spills right away with a damp cloth and mild soap to prevent deep staining.

4. Choose Stain-Resistant Materials – Opt for outdoor tables made from materials like powder-coated metal, tempered glass, or synthetic wicker, which resist stains better.

5. Try a DIY Barrier – For a temporary fix, rub a small amount of mineral oil or beeswax on the table surface before use to repel liquids.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy your meals without worrying about permanent stains on your outdoor table.
