Accidentally spilled sour cream on your metal table? Don’t worry—removing the stain is easier than you think! Follow these simple steps to restore your table’s shine.

1. Blot the Stain Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to gently blot the excess sour cream. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and wring it out to avoid excess moisture.

3. Gently Scrub the Stain: Wipe the stained area in circular motions. For stubborn stains, let the soapy solution sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again.

4. Rinse and Dry: Dampen another cloth with clean water to rinse off the soap residue. Dry the surface thoroughly with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

5. Use Baking Soda for Tough Stains: For dried or stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then scrub gently and rinse.

6. Polish for Shine: After cleaning, apply a metal polish or a mixture of vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) to restore the table’s luster.

By following these steps, your metal table will look as good as new! Regular cleaning and prompt action can prevent permanent stains and keep your surfaces gleaming.
