Keeping a nickel outdoor table looking its best requires regular cleaning and proper maintenance. Nickel is durable but can tarnish or develop rust if neglected. Here’s a simple, effective method to restore its shine:

1. Gather Supplies: You’ll need mild dish soap, warm water, a soft cloth or sponge, baking soda (for tough stains), and a microfiber towel for drying. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to prevent scratches.

2. Wash with Soapy Water: Mix a few drops of dish soap in warm water. Gently scrub the table surface with the solution, focusing on stained or dirty areas. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

3. Remove Stubborn Stains: For rust or oxidation, make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to the affected spots, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then wipe clean.

4. Dry Completely: Use a microfiber towel to dry the table thoroughly. This prevents water spots and slows tarnishing.

5. Prevent Future Damage: Apply a thin layer of car wax or nickel polish every few months to protect the surface. Store the table under a cover during harsh weather.

By following these steps, your nickel outdoor table will stay sleek and stylish for years!
