Accidentally spilled caramel on your outdoor furniture? Don’t worry—removing sticky caramel stains is easier than you think. Follow these simple steps to restore your patio set to its original condition.
1. Scrape Off Excess Caramel: Use a dull knife or spoon to gently scrape away as much caramel as possible without damaging the fabric or surface.
2. Blot with Warm Soapy Water: Mix mild dish soap with warm water, dip a clean cloth into the solution, and blot the stain. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain further.
3. Apply Vinegar Solution: For stubborn stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Dab the solution onto the stain and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before wiping it away.
4. Use Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the affected area, and let it sit for 15 minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft brush.
5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the area with clean water and pat dry with a towel. For fabric cushions, air-dry completely before using them again.
Prevention Tip: Cover your outdoor furniture when serving sticky treats to avoid future stains. With these methods, your furniture will look as good as new!
