Pudding stains on a wooden outdoor table can be frustrating, but with the right approach, you can restore your table's appearance. Start by gently scraping off any excess pudding with a plastic spatula or dull knife. Avoid using metal tools to prevent scratches.

Next, mix a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the mixture, wring it out, and gently blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the wood. For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping clean.

If the stain persists, try using white vinegar diluted with water (1:1 ratio). Test this on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the finish. After cleaning, rinse the area with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

To protect your table, consider applying a wood conditioner or outdoor sealant to prevent future stains. Regular maintenance will keep your wooden outdoor table looking great for years.
