Wood
Care & Maintenance
You made an excellent
choice in selecting teak furniture for your outdoor space.
The next step is to decide how you want to protect your
investment. One of the many benefits of teak is how it
remains impervious to the elements. While its color tones
change, the durability and integrity of your furniture will not.
When new,
teak will have a stunning golden brown tone. As it is left
outdoors, it will begin to weather and the vibrant golden tone with
begin to fade. Eventually, your teak furniture
will turn
to a lovely silvery patina. (The weathering process will
occur quicker in moist environments versus drier climates).
If you wish to maintain your furniture's original color, use the Teak
Protector seasonally. If your furniture has weathered to the
silvery patina and you want it to return to the original golden color,
apply the Teak Cleaner and then apply the Teak Protector seasonally.
If you appreciate the silvery tone, do nothing other than
periodic cleaning. The choice is yours.
When teak is left outdoors, you will notice small cracks
called "checking" that begin to appear. Checking occurs when the wood
expands and contracts. A lifting of the grain on the top
edges of the arms and legs may also occur. This is perfectly
natural and after the weathering process is complete, it will return to
its original smooth finish. (If you want to aid this process
along, you can simply clean your furniture with a soft bristle brush or
sponge). Lastly, you may also see some water spots or other
discoloration during the weathering process. These eventually
even out.
Periodic cleaning is necessary to maintain your furniture. It is
recommended that you hose down your furniture with fresh water being
mindful not to use a high pressure hose. Using a soft bristle brush and
a solution consisting of 2/3 cup laundry detergent and 1/4 cup bleach
diluted in 1 gallon of warm water, gently scrub your furniture.
When finished, rinse well to remove any remaining residue.
If you have a tough stain such as grease or wine,
we recommend using the Teak Cleaner. DO NOT USE TEAK
OIL on your furniture if used outdoors. Mildew or
irregular coloring may occur.
