Algae stains on a nano-coated outdoor table can be unsightly and challenging to remove without damaging the protective coating. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely clean your table and restore its appearance:
1. Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a mild dish soap or a specialized nano-coating cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, as they can degrade the nano-coating.
2. Soft Brush or Cloth: Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth to scrub the stained areas gently. Circular motions help lift algae without scratching the surface.
3. Rinse Thoroughly: After scrubbing, rinse the table with clean water to remove any soap residue. A garden hose works well for this step.
4. Prevent Future Growth: To deter algae, keep the table dry when not in use and consider placing it in a shaded area. Regularly wiping the surface with a nano-coating protectant can also help.
For stubborn stains, a diluted vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) can be used sparingly, followed by immediate rinsing. Always test any cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
By following these steps, your nano-coated outdoor table will stay clean and protected for years to come.
