Outdoor tables with pedestal bases often accumulate stubborn stains from dirt, rust, or watermarks. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your table’s appearance:

1. Identify the Stain Type: Determine if the stain is from rust, mold, or organic debris, as each requires a different approach.

2. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: For general stains, mix warm water with mild dish soap. For rust, use white vinegar or lemon juice with baking soda. Mold may require a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water).

3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft brush or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. For tough stains, let the solution sit for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Hose down the table to remove residue, ensuring no cleaning agents remain.

5. Dry Completely: Wipe with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots or new stains.

For prevention, apply a protective sealant or cover the table when not in use. Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor furniture looking pristine!
