Skhug, a spicy Middle Eastern condiment, can leave stubborn stains on outdoor tables if not cleaned properly. To prevent these stains, start by applying a protective sealant to your table’s surface. This creates a barrier that makes cleaning easier. If skhug spills occur, wipe them immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish. For deeper stains, mix baking soda and water into a paste, apply it to the affected area, and gently scrub. Regularly cleaning and resealing your outdoor table will help maintain its appearance and longevity. Consider using a table cover when not in use to further protect it from spills and weather.
