Park chairs are a common sight in outdoor spaces, but they often fall victim to berry stains from nearby trees or dropped snacks. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to tackle these stubborn marks.

For fresh berry stains, start by blotting the area with a damp cloth to remove excess juice. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. A mixture of mild soap and warm water can then be applied with a soft brush to gently lift the stain. For tougher stains, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) works wonders—spray it on, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean.

If the stain persists, consider using a specialized outdoor fabric cleaner or a paste made from baking soda and water. Apply the paste, let it dry, then brush it off. For metal or plastic chairs, a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) can be used, but test it on a small area first.

Prevention is key: applying a fabric protector spray or choosing stain-resistant materials can help keep park chairs looking their best. Regular maintenance and prompt cleaning will ensure your outdoor furniture stays inviting and stain-free.
