Mineral deposits from sprinkler systems can leave unsightly stains and damage your outdoor table over time. Here are practical solutions to keep your table looking pristine:

1. Use a Protective Cover – Invest in a waterproof, UV-resistant cover to shield your table when not in use. This prevents direct exposure to sprinkler water and reduces mineral buildup.

2. Apply a Sealant – Coat your table with a sealant or wax designed for outdoor furniture. This creates a barrier against water and minerals, making cleanup easier.

3. Regular Cleaning – Wipe down the table weekly with a mixture of vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to dissolve mineral deposits. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches.

4. Adjust Sprinkler Settings – Redirect sprinklers to minimize water contact with the table. Consider drip irrigation for nearby plants to reduce overspray.

5. Rinse After Watering – Quickly rinse the table with clean water after sprinkler use to dilute and wash away minerals before they dry.

By following these steps, you can extend the life of your outdoor table and maintain its appearance despite exposure to sprinkler systems.
