Teak outdoor tables are prized for their durability and natural beauty, but cleat stains from shoes or sports gear can leave unsightly marks. Fortunately, removing these stains is straightforward with the right approach.

1. Gentle Cleaning Solution: Mix mild dish soap with warm water. Dip a soft brush or cloth into the solution and gently scrub the stained area. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage teak’s natural oils.

2. Baking Soda Paste: For tougher stains, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub lightly and rinse.

3. Teak Cleaner: If stains persist, use a specialized teak cleaner. Follow the product instructions, rinse thoroughly, and allow the table to dry.

4. Prevent Future Stains: Apply a teak sealer annually to protect the wood and make stain removal easier.

Regular maintenance will keep your teak table looking pristine for years. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility.
