Discover how to maintain and care for teak properly
Teak is a beautiful golden-brown tropical wood that, with time and exposure to the elements, acquires a silvery-grey patina that gives it its distinctive appearance outdoors. This wood is noted for its resistance to extreme weather conditions and water. It also has a natural oil coating that makes it waterproof, prevents rot and protects it from fungi, termites and pests.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to clean teak?
We recommend using our Teak Cleaner, specifically designed to remove mould and mildew spores from teak. Follow the instructions on the bottle and the colour will be restored. We recommend using our Teak Protector after cleaning to prevent the effects of weathering.
What to do if my teak is rough or worn?
If your teak is rough and worn, don’t worry. Teak contains enough natural oil inside to protect it from rotting. If you want a smoother surface, you can sand it by hand with very fine sandpaper. Avoid power sanding, as it can cause black marks. After sanding, use a dry, rough cleaning sponge to remove any remaining sawdust.
Is it advisable to oil teak wood before using maintenance products?
Our Teak Cleaner works by removing oil and dirt from the teak, leaving a uniform pale brown colour. Do not apply Teak Protector directly to oiled teak, as this will result in a poor finish.
What do I do if the wood has dark or black stains?
If you notice dark or black stains on your teak furniture, they are likely to be caused by moisture and the formation of mould or mildew. These stains can be removed with our Teak Cleaner, and can also be hand sanded and cleaned.
