What Not to Do with Your Outdoor Teak Furniture

Avoid using all-purpose wood cleaners or generic varnish. Teak wood has very specific qualities and requires teak specific products for maintenance for the best results. Varnish should be avoided as it can cause chipping and flaking.

Do not use pressure-washing devices on teak outdoor furniture. Pressure washers can cause damage such as coarse splintering and discolouration to the furniture’s surface.

Do not use steel or brass wool brushes on teak furniture, as they are too abrasive. A simple kitchen sponge will do the job.
