What’s the best way to maintain Teak outdoor furniture?
From a structural perspective Teak outdoor furniture doesn’t need maintenance. Good quality teak is virtually immune to rotting and can typically be past on for generations. If you are happy with the silver grey patina of Teak you only need to clean it with warms soapy water and a soft bristle brush every six months as a minimum to avoid a buildup of dirt and mould.
If you live in Sydney you can have us do a whitewash every six months to give it a nice driftwood colour.
What’s the best way to maintain the golden colour of Teak outdoor furniture?
The best way to maintain the golden colour is to delegate. If you want to do it yourself you can see our comprehensive guide here on how to maintain Teak outdoor furniture.
If you love the premium light yellow colour of Teak, often found on the deck of a yacht, then you need to develop a maintenance routine. We are based in Australia and here the sun really rips into fully exposed outdoor timber. Therefor we don’t have the privilege of annual cleaning being sufficient. Your setting can look amazing all year round if you clean and coat it every six months.
Why do bottles and glasses leave a white circle on my teak table?
First of all, hot and cold drinks are the enemy of any timber table. Use coasters for drinks. If it already happened it can be fixed. Sometimes it works to put a towel on it and a varm Iron to get rid of the circle. If that doesn’t work you can sand it out, typically with 120grit paper on an orbital followed by 180 and 240 grit.
