Accidentally getting driveway sealer on your outdoor table can be frustrating, but don’t worry—it’s removable with the right approach. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you restore your table’s surface.

1. Scrape Off Excess Sealer: Use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently remove any dried or thick layers of sealer. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratching the table.

2. Apply a Solvent: For fresh sealer, mineral spirits or acetone can break down the residue. Test a small area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the table’s finish.

3. Use a Degreaser or Soapy Water: For older stains, mix warm water with dish soap or a degreaser. Scrub with a stiff brush or sponge, then rinse thoroughly.

4. Try a Pressure Washer (Carefully): If the table is sturdy, a low-pressure wash can help lift stubborn sealer. Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches away to avoid damage.

5. Sand if Necessary: For lingering stains, lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe clean and apply a protective finish if needed.

Prevent future mishaps by covering your table during sealing projects. With patience and these methods, your outdoor table will look as good as new!
