Bird droppings on a textured outdoor table can be stubborn to clean, but with the right approach, you can restore your furniture without damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Scrape Off Excess: Use a plastic scraper or an old credit card to gently remove dried droppings without scratching the surface.

2. Pre-Treat with Soapy Water: Mix mild dish soap with warm water and apply it to the affected area. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to loosen the residue.

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub the textured surface in circular motions. Avoid harsh brushes that could damage the finish.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the table or wipe it with a damp cloth to remove soap and debris.

5. Disinfect (Optional): For extra hygiene, spray a diluted vinegar solution (1:1 water and vinegar) and wipe clean.

6. Dry Properly: Let the table air-dry or use a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste (baking soda + water) can help lift discoloration. Always test cleaners on a small hidden area first. Regular maintenance, like covering the table when not in use, can prevent future buildup.
