Accidentally spilling creme brulee on your outdoor furniture cushions can be frustrating, but don’t worry—there are simple ways to tackle the stain. Start by gently scraping off any excess dessert with a dull knife or spoon. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fabric.
Next, mix a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the mixture and blot the stain, working from the outside inward to prevent spreading. For tougher stains, apply a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
If the stain persists, try using a fabric-safe stain remover or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). Test any solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness. Finally, let the cushions air-dry completely before using them again.
For stubborn or old stains, consider professional cleaning services to restore your cushions to their original condition. Regular maintenance and quick action can keep your outdoor furniture looking fresh and stain-free.
