Marker stains on outdoor furniture can be frustrating, but with the right techniques, they can be removed effectively. Here are some proven methods to restore your furniture’s appearance:

1. Rubbing Alcohol or Hand Sanitizer: Apply a small amount to a cloth and gently dab the stain. The alcohol breaks down the ink, making it easier to wipe away.

2. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, apply it to the stain, and scrub gently with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

3. White Vinegar Solution: Combine equal parts vinegar and water, then blot the stain with a soaked cloth. This works well for light stains.

4. Magic Eraser: Use a melamine foam sponge (like a Magic Eraser) to gently rub the stain. Avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent surface damage.

5. Commercial Stain Removers: For tough stains, consider a specialized outdoor cleaner. Always test on a small area first.

Prevent future stains by promptly cleaning spills and using protective covers. With these tips, your outdoor furniture will look as good as new!
