TEAK
Teak garden furniture requires maintenance to extend its lifespan. Teak has natural oil in itself but will slowly turn grey if you do not treat it, preferably with teak oil. If you would like to keep this natural teak look you should use oil and also follow the maintenance advice, to keep your product in good condition for many coming years.
Before teak oil treatment:
– Use fine sandpaper to smoothen the surface (polish in the wood grains direction). Remove the
sand dust with a cloth.
– The furniture needs to be cleaned and totally dry prior to applying the oil. The easiest way to clean the piece of furniture is to use a sponge or soft brush plus soap and excessive water. In some occasions one might need to use teak cleaner which can be found in any of the major DIY stores.
– Let it stand outside and sun dry – it is very important that it is is 100% dry before treatment. In some occasions the wood grains can raise up a bit. This can easily be smoothen by using carton box material to polish the surface.
– Carefully follow the instructions stated on the teak oil can / bottle and apply the oil with a paintbrush. Make sure again that the tabletop is 100% dry and clean, if not – mold spots can appear on your furniture.
– Before first usage we recommend that the underside of the table top should also be impregnated to reduce the risk of cracking. This is because the side of the table that has been oiled will swell slightly.
Maintenance advice:
– Clean the product with soft soap and lukewarm water on a regular basis.
– Be aware that if placing the furniture close to trees – there might be fall-outs which can create spots. The product should then be cleaned more often.
– Do not cover of furniture (for example with furniture cover) during a longer period o
time, as condensation can create black mold spots.
– Do not leave your furniture out in the garden during winter time. It should be stored in a
storage room where the temperature does not go below 0 celsius degree.
