Teak does not need treating to survive. It needs treating only if you want to keep the honey colour rather than let it weather to silver grey, and plenty of people prefer the grey. Neither choice affects how long the furniture lasts.
If you do want the colour back, this kit does the whole job in one go. The cleaner lifts the grey and any surface dirt, the restorer brings the tone back, and the teak sealer holds it there through the season. One kit covers a typical garden dining set.
Work on a dry day and go with the grain rather than across it. Most people do this once a year in spring, though a table that sits under a tree usually wants doing more often than one in open sun. A cover over winter cuts the work considerably.
The Luxus Teak Care Kit is a three-part system. The Cleaner lifts surface dirt, mildew and algae, the Restorer returns weathered wood to a freshly sanded appearance, and the Sealer protects the surface from stains, rain and sunshine.
No. Teak can be left to weather naturally to a silver-grey colour, which takes six to twelve months and does not affect its strength.
If you would rather keep the original honey tone, apply a teak sealer and re-apply it every 9 to 12 months. Our teak care guide explains both options.
No. We advise against oiling outdoor teak. In the UK climate, teak oil causes the wood to blacken and attracts mould.
To keep the colour, use a teak sealer instead. The reasons are set out in our teak care guide.
Twice a year, in spring and autumn. Mild soapy water and a soft brush are enough for a routine clean, always working with the grain.
For ingrained grey, mildew or algae, use the cleaner from the Luxus Teak Care Kit.
No. Pressure washing, wire brushes and strong chemicals thin the surface of the wood and shorten its life. Use a garden hose on a medium setting instead.
Our three-part care system is designed to remove the need for vigorous scrubbing or jet washing.
Clean the furniture first, then apply the Restorer from the Luxus Teak Care Kit, which returns weathered wood to its original appearance. Once the wood is completely dry, apply the Sealer to protect it.
