Hard water stains on a ceramic outdoor table can be unsightly, but they don’t have to be permanent. Here are some easy and effective ways to restore your table’s shine using common household items.

1. Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the stained areas and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge, then rinse with clean water.

2. Baking Soda Paste: Create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to the stains and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Scrub with a non-abrasive pad and rinse thoroughly.

3. Lemon Juice: The acidity of lemon juice can break down mineral deposits. Apply fresh lemon juice to the stains, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

4. Commercial Cleaners: If natural remedies don’t work, consider a commercial cleaner designed for hard water stains. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for best results.

Prevent future stains by wiping down your table regularly and using a protective sealant. With these tips, your ceramic outdoor table will look as good as new!
