Moss stains on a metal outdoor table can be unsightly and difficult to remove if not treated properly. Here are some effective methods to restore your table’s shine:
1. Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Apply the solution to the moss stains and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Scrub with a soft brush or sponge, then rinse with water.
2. Baking Soda Paste: Create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to the stained areas and gently scrub with a non-abrasive brush. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
3. Bleach Dilution: For stubborn stains, mix one part bleach with four parts water. Wear gloves and apply the mixture to the moss stains. Let it sit for 5 minutes before scrubbing and rinsing.
4. Pressure Washer: If your table is sturdy, use a low-pressure setting on a pressure washer to blast away moss stains. Avoid high pressure to prevent damage.
5. Preventive Measures: To avoid future moss growth, keep your table dry and clean. Apply a protective wax or sealant designed for metal surfaces.
Regular maintenance will help keep your metal outdoor table moss-free and looking its best.
