Marker stains on a polypropylene outdoor table can be frustrating, but they don’t have to be permanent. Here are a few simple and effective methods to restore your table’s clean look.
1. Rubbing Alcohol or Hand Sanitizer: Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or alcohol-based hand sanitizer to the stain. Gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge in circular motions until the stain lifts. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.
2. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick paste. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before scrubbing lightly with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
3. White Vinegar Solution: Combine equal parts white vinegar and water. Dip a cloth into the solution and dab the stained area. Let it sit briefly before wiping clean.
4. Magic Eraser: A melamine foam sponge (like a Magic Eraser) can work wonders on stubborn marks. Dampen it slightly and gently rub the stain until it disappears.
For best results, test any cleaning method on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the table’s surface. With these easy techniques, your polypropylene outdoor table will look as good as new!
