Berry stains on a textured outdoor table can be stubborn, but with the right approach, they can be removed effectively. Start by scraping off any excess berry residue with a plastic spatula or dull knife. Avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the surface.
Next, create a cleaning solution by mixing warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Apply the solution to the stained area using a soft-bristled brush or sponge, gently scrubbing in circular motions. For tougher stains, sprinkle baking soda over the area before scrubbing to add extra abrasion.
If the stain persists, try a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Spray or dab the solution onto the stain, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub lightly. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward.
For deep-set stains, oxygen-based bleach (like OxiClean) diluted in water can be highly effective. Apply the solution, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse well. Avoid chlorine bleach, as it may discolor the table.
Prevent future stains by promptly cleaning spills and applying a protective sealant designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will keep your textured outdoor table looking fresh and stain-free.
