Pier stains on a metal outdoor table can be unsightly and stubborn, often caused by rust, water spots, or chemical reactions. Fortunately, you can restore your table’s appearance with a few simple steps.
1. Vinegar and Baking Soda Solution
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, then apply it to the stained area. Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and scrub gently with a soft brush. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
2. Lemon Juice and Salt
Cut a lemon in half, dip it in salt, and rub it over the stain. The acidity of the lemon combined with the abrasive salt helps break down rust and discoloration. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
3. Commercial Metal Cleaners
For tough stains, use a specialized metal cleaner. Follow the product instructions, apply with a non-abrasive cloth, and rinse well to avoid residue buildup.
4. Prevent Future Stains
Apply a protective wax or sealant to your table after cleaning. Cover the table when not in use to shield it from moisture and debris.
Regular maintenance keeps your metal outdoor table looking pristine. With these methods, pier stains will no longer be a problem!
