How To Care For Teak Furniture

By Ronald Green


Teak outdoor furniture is the most superior quality backyard furniture possible. Teak outdoor furniture is also extremely easy to care for. Teak has special properties that make it perfect for use outside. Teak patio furniture needs just a little care to last a long time.

Teak is a precious wood. In spite of this, you should think that outdoor teak furniture is a worthy investment on account of its stability.

It is important to clean up your teak outdoor furniture at least once a year to undo the collection of dust. You may use a hose without high pressure to rinse the dirt away. Following that, using a soft brush, wash the surface delicately with a blend of warm water, dish soap, and a couple tablespoons of bleach. Using too much bleach is going to lead to a pale color so bleaching is not essential. Once done, rinse another time using clean water. Pat the surface dry using a towel or large rag to finish.

Teak outdoor furniture which is left outdoors will naturally start to gradually fade color from the golden shade of new wood to be a silver-gray patina. This process of teak wood becoming gray is normal and only cosmetic. It does not do anything to the stability of your teak furniture.

Some people like the golden honey coloring of new teak outdoor furniture and buy teak oil as a method to maintain this color. But teak oil is bad because it must be used every three or four once you begin applying it. Teak oil could also increase the likelihood for mildew to appear. A better idea is to use teak sealer once a year after cleaning your teak outdoor furniture to try to maintain the golden coloring.

You may decide to get a furniture cover for your teak outdoor furniture, especially in the winter months or if you live in a location that has a lot of dust. If you choose to use covers, make sure to purchase furniture covers made from a breathable material. Do not employ a plastic cover which would trap moisture. It would increase the possibility of mildew forming on the surface.

Stubborn stains like wine or coffee can be removed with a light sanding of the top layer of the outdoor teak furniture. You can begin with a grade medium sandpaper and after that complete the job with a fine grade paper to make the surface of the teak smooth. Sanding is another method of bringing out the honey tone of teak furniture as you will expose a fresh level of teak wood that is still full of natural oils.

It doesn't matter if your furniture is a teak shower stool or a teak dining set, a little maintenance will go far.

Now you can see, your teak outdoor furniture will last for many years with very little maintenance from you. Since it will last such a long time, teakwood is preferred over other kinds of wood. You will rest in knowing that a teak dining set you get now should be handed down to your children and grandchildren.
