Outdoor tables are prone to stains, especially when exposed to colorful foods like achar (pickled condiments). To keep your table looking its best, follow these practical steps:

1. Use a Tablecloth or Placemats – Cover the surface with a waterproof or washable tablecloth to create a barrier between achar and the table.

2. Apply a Protective Sealant – For wooden or metal tables, use a sealant or outdoor-grade varnish to repel liquids and prevent deep staining.

3. Clean Spills Immediately – Wipe away achar spills promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap to avoid permanent discoloration.

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

5. Regular Maintenance – Periodically clean your table with a mixture of vinegar and water or a specialized outdoor cleaner to maintain its finish.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy meals outdoors without worrying about stubborn achar stains ruining your table’s appearance.
