Sticky seeds from trees and plants can quickly turn your outdoor table into a messy surface. To keep your table clean and functional, follow these practical tips:
1. Use a Protective Cover – Invest in a waterproof, UV-resistant table cover. This barrier prevents seeds from sticking and also shields the table from rain and sun damage.
2. Regular Cleaning – Sweep or wipe the table daily with a damp cloth to remove seeds before they harden. A mild soap solution helps dissolve sticky residues.
3. Apply a Non-Stick Coating – Furniture wax or a silicone-based spray creates a smooth surface, making it harder for seeds to adhere.
4. Trim Nearby Trees – If possible, prune overhanging branches to reduce seed fall.
5. Store Table When Not in Use – During peak seed-dropping seasons, consider folding and storing the table if it’s not needed.
By taking these steps, you can enjoy a clean outdoor table all season long!
