PLANTATION TEAK

Care for Teak
Your teak outdoor furniture requires regular cleaning and basic care to maintain its appearance over the many years it can be enjoyed.
There are a lot of products on the market to protect, color or clean teak.
Should you do anything to treat your teak? A lot of it is a matter of taste. If untreated, and exposed to UV, the teak will slowly turn silver grey, but will remain as strong as treated teak wood.
Maintenance Products: We advise to use as much as possible products from a reliable source with clear instructions and after sale service. Note that if you start to use maintenance products to keep the original appearance they will need to be reapplied on a yearly basis.
Basic Care: The number one rule is regular cleaning to avoid buildup of mold and mildew.
Avoid leaving food, leaves or dirt for an extended period of time on the teak.
Do not store furniture in a very humid, non ventilated space and do not cover your furniture with a plastic cover, teak needs to breathe.
Note that leaving items on the teak for a long period can cause discoloration. Teak changes color when exposed to UV.
Cleaning Untreated Teak: Clean on a consistent and regular basis with a hard synthetic brush, gentle eco-friendly dishwashing soap and clean water.
Never use a metal brush or steel wool.
Spills, such as wine or juices need to be cleaned immediately to prevent staining the furniture.
