Soda spills on an outdoor table can leave stubborn stains, but with the right techniques, you can restore its appearance easily. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tackle soda stains effectively:
1. Blot Immediately: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain.
2. Rinse with Water: Rinse the stained area with warm water to dilute the sugary residue.
3. Apply a Cleaning Solution:
- Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water to form a paste, apply it to the stain, and scrub gently with a soft brush.
- Vinegar Solution: Combine equal parts white vinegar and water, spray it on the stain, and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before wiping.
4. Scrub and Rinse: Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to scrub the area, then rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Dry the Surface: Wipe the table dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots or streaks.
For tough stains, repeat the process or use a commercial cleaner designed for outdoor furniture. Regular maintenance and quick action will keep your outdoor table looking pristine!
