Soon the outdoor and barbecue season will begin, and teak garden furniture with matching cushions and pillows offers the perfect place to relax on hot summer days. This subtropical wood is one of the most durable materials and is especially suitable for outdoor use. To keep its color bright and fresh, however, teak garden furniture needs proper maintenance.
Keep teak garden furniture looking fresh
Few woods can match the weather resistance of teak with such minimal maintenance. Teak garden furniture is highly resistant to insect infestation and mold. If it is not treated, cleaned, or oiled for several months, a silver-gray patina will form. This effect is sometimes intentionally left in place, as many people like its natural look. Furniture kept under cover or in natural shade can retain its original tone for longer.
Clean teak garden furniture
Gray discoloration can be removed with natural cleaning substances. To prevent fading, oil the teak garden furniture regularly: at the beginning of spring, again in early summer, and in autumn before storage. With just a few steps, teak furniture can regain its warm wood tone and shine.
Teak furniture should be properly maintained
Teak garden furniture is easy to clean with soap and water. A pressure washer can also be used on a low setting. Before oiling, remove dust and dirt from the surface. Several special teak cleaners are available. Teak sealer, for example, has a texture similar to teak oil and seals the wood with a thin protective layer, often lasting longer than oil. Water-based teak protection products without sealant are another option. Smooth, large surfaces are especially easy to treat with oil and a brush.
Maintenance tips for furniture made of teak wood
Garden furniture should always be cared for according to the type of wood. For a more attractive appearance, refresh high-quality furniture at the beginning of every spring.
