Living near the coast offers stunning views and fresh ocean breezes, but it also brings the challenge of salt stains on outdoor furniture. If your coastal outdoor sofa has unsightly white salt deposits, don’t worry—there are effective ways to restore its appearance.

First, rinse the sofa with fresh water to remove loose salt particles. Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, then gently scrub the stained areas with a soft brush or cloth. Vinegar’s acidity helps dissolve salt deposits without damaging the fabric or material. For tougher stains, a mild dish soap solution can also work well.

After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow the sofa to dry completely. To prevent future salt buildup, consider using a protective cover when the sofa isn’t in use or applying a fabric guard designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance will keep your coastal sofa looking great for years to come.
