Plastic outdoor tables are durable and weather-resistant, but they can accumulate stubborn stains over time. Whether it’s dirt, food spills, or mildew, here’s how to restore your table’s appearance with simple cleaning methods.

1. Basic Cleaning with Soap and Water

Start by rinsing the table with a hose to remove loose debris. Mix warm water with mild dish soap and scrub the surface using a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry.

2. Baking Soda Paste for Tough Stains

For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the stained area, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a non-abrasive brush. Rinse well afterward.

3. Vinegar Solution for Mold and Mildew

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on mold or mildew spots, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe clean. Vinegar’s acidity helps kill bacteria and remove discoloration.

4. Bleach for Deep Cleaning (Use with Caution)

For severe stains or algae, dilute 1 tablespoon of bleach in 1 gallon of water. Apply sparingly, scrub lightly, and rinse immediately to avoid damaging the plastic.

5. Magic Eraser for Scuff Marks

A melamine foam sponge (like a Magic Eraser) can lift scuff marks and grime without harsh chemicals. Dampen the sponge and gently rub the affected area.

Prevention Tips:

- Cover the table when not in use.

- Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining.

- Clean the table regularly to maintain its appearance.

With these easy methods, your plastic outdoor table will look as good as new!
