Green mold on outdoor tables is a common issue, especially in humid or shaded areas. To prevent this unsightly problem, follow these practical steps:

1. Regular Cleaning: Wash your table weekly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and organic debris that encourage mold growth.

2. Proper Drying: After cleaning or rain, wipe the table dry to prevent moisture buildup.

3. Use Protective Covers: Invest in a waterproof cover to shield the table from rain and humidity when not in use.

4. Apply Mold-Resistant Treatments: Use a vinegar-water solution (1:1 ratio) or commercial mold inhibitors to treat the surface periodically.

5. Ensure Good Airflow: Position the table in a sunny, well-ventilated spot to reduce dampness.

For existing mold, scrub the affected area with a mixture of baking soda and water or a specialized outdoor cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely.

By following these simple practices, you can keep your outdoor table mold-free and extend its lifespan.
