Teak Care

The Teak used in our products is highly durable and treated with a weather proof ﬁnish to help our

garden furniture stand the test of time. With its high level of natural oils, Teak has got the natural

quality of self protection against water, rot and insects which makes it perfect for outdoor use and

renowned for being low maintenance.

Teak wood naturally fades in colour from golden honey to classic silvery grey when it is exposed to

the elements. This fading process can start within a couple of weeks from purchase. If you are happy

with the beautiful silver grey colour, then sit back and watch as your furniture evolves. If you would

like to keep your furniture a sunny golden honey shade, we advise you to use a sealant on your

furniture within seven days of receipt – this will slow down the weathering process. This does not

aﬀect the strength or longevity of your set, however once you have begun to seal your furniture you

will need to apply the sealer periodically to ensure there is continuous protection.

You will need to clean your furniture and ensure it is fully dried before you apply the sealant to avoid

trapping any dirt or moisture underneath the sealant which could cause mould growth. The use of

Teak oil can destroy the Teak's natural protective oils and your furniture will then need to be oiled

regularly to keep the furniture suitable for outdoor use where as Teak sealant does not aﬀect the

wood's natural oil and does not have to be used as often.

CARE

To do a basic clean on your Teak garden furniture we advise you to softly scrub the furniture with a

clean wet cloth / sponge and mild soapy water, then wash the soap suds oﬀ with a hose and dry it

oﬀ with a clean towel. We suggest that this should be done every 1-2 weeks on a sunny day to help

dry the furniture oﬀ quicker. Alternatively, use a specialised Teak Cleaner and carefully follow the

instructions on the label.

We do not advise the use of a power washer as this could damage the furniture and roughen the

surface of the wood.

Although our Teak furniture is mould and mildew resistant, it is not impossible for your furniture to

be aﬀected by it - this is not problematic. To remove mould or mildew growth or musty odours, we

advise the use of a small amount of white vinegar or a specialised cleaning product for Teak

furniture.

Any spillages should be wiped up as soon as possible to avoid any staining e.g. Red wine. To

remove stubborn stains, the use of copper or brass wool (avoid any harder wools to avoid

scratching) or the use of stain removers designed speciﬁcally for Teak furniture.
