Chaga mushrooms, while beneficial for health, can leave stubborn stains on outdoor wooden tables. To protect your furniture, follow these practical steps:

1. Apply a Protective Sealant: Use a high-quality wood sealant or varnish to create a barrier against chaga sap and moisture. Reapply annually for best results.

2. Clean Spills Immediately: If chaga tea or residue touches the table, wipe it off promptly with a damp cloth to prevent deep staining.

3. Use Table Covers: When not in use, cover your table with a waterproof cloth or tarp to shield it from chaga and other environmental elements.

4. Regular Maintenance: Sand and refinish the table periodically to remove surface stains and restore its natural beauty.

5. Avoid Direct Contact: Place chaga-infused items on coasters or trays to minimize direct exposure to the table’s surface.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy your outdoor table without worrying about unsightly chaga stains.
