Pistachio milk stains on wood can be stubborn, but with the right approach, you can restore your furniture’s natural beauty. Here’s a step-by-step guide to removing these stains safely:
1. Blot Immediately: Use a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the wood.
2. Mild Soap Solution: Mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth (not soaking wet) and gently wipe the stained area. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
3. Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 5 minutes, then wipe away with a damp cloth.
4. Vinegar and Oil: Combine equal parts white vinegar and olive oil. Dab onto the stain, then wipe with a clean cloth. This helps lift the stain while conditioning the wood.
5. Final Polish: Once the stain is gone, apply a small amount of wood polish to restore shine and protect the surface.
Always test any solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the finish. For persistent stains, consult a professional wood cleaner.
