Cleaning
In order to clean the teak you should use a jet wash or hose at a distance of 6-12” with a wide jet. The jet should not be directed directly into the joints of the furniture. For stubborn stains, soapy water (with a 10ml of standard kitchen bleach for every litre of water) or teak cleaners and a stiff brush can be used. If required, the wood can be lightly sanded, when dry, using a fine grade sandpaper and wire wool.
Treatments
If you would like to treat your wood, then there are various teak oils and water based treatments on the market which can be applied. It is important to understand that nearly all these treatments must be reapplied as a continuous routine every 3 – 6 months. Before using these treatments we recommend that you seek detailed advice from the appropriate manufacturer and test on a small area of teak before complete application to ensure that you are happy with the finish.
IMPORTANT: Before applying / reapplying any treatments please note that the teak must be completely clean and free from any colour variations / black spots. This may require a degree of sanding. Customers should be aware that applying a treatment to furniture made of teak of various shades will emphasize this difference. Covering Please note that if you intend you cover your teak furniture you must ensure that it is well ventilated. If not, then the teak cannot breathe, and mould spots can develop.
