Teak outdoor tables are prized for their durability and natural beauty, but over time, they can develop stubborn dormer stains from exposure to moisture, leaves, or organic debris. Fortunately, removing these stains doesn’t require harsh chemicals—just a few simple steps.

1. Prepare the Surface: Start by brushing off loose dirt and debris with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid metal brushes, as they can scratch the wood.

2. Create a Cleaning Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Vinegar is a natural cleaner that breaks down organic stains without damaging teak.

3. Apply the Solution: Spray the stained areas lightly and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. For tougher stains, gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Use a garden hose or damp cloth to rinse off the solution. Avoid soaking the wood, as excess moisture can cause further staining.

5. Dry and Protect: Let the table air-dry completely. For added protection, apply a teak sealer or oil to restore the wood’s natural luster and prevent future stains.

Regular maintenance, like covering the table when not in use, can also help keep it stain-free. With these easy steps, your teak table will look as good as new!
