Accidentally spilling pistachio milk on your metal outdoor table can leave stubborn stains, but don’t worry—there are easy ways to clean it up. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your table’s shine.
1. Blot the Stain Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to soak up as much of the spilled milk as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. For tougher stains, add a tablespoon of baking soda or white vinegar for extra cleaning power.
3. Scrub Gently: Dip a soft sponge or microfiber cloth into the solution and gently scrub the stained area. Use circular motions to lift the stain without scratching the metal surface.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Wipe the table with a damp cloth to remove any soapy residue. Dry immediately with a clean towel to prevent water spots or rust.
5. Polish for Shine (Optional): Apply a metal polish or a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice to restore the table’s luster after cleaning.
For persistent stains, repeat the process or try a specialized metal cleaner. Regular maintenance will keep your outdoor table looking pristine!
