Care

• It is natural for teak to emit oils as it acclimates to a new environment. This is called surfacing & should only last 3–4 weeks. It is easy to clean – just follow the instructions above.

TERRA TIPS

• Do not scrub back & forth – this will cause discoloration
• Clean entire surface area – do not spot-clean, which will lead to uneven shading
• Avoid using bleach, steel wool & hard-bristle brushes
• Never clean with power washer
• To remove saltwater, hose down regularly
• Teak turns grey from the UV rays of the sun – not from water. If you want teak to weather slowly, keep it in the shade.
• Do not use teak cleaner on finished teak, such as our Weathered Teak
• Although teak itself will not mildew, dirt and other foreign substances on the wood can mildew. Mildew can also form when wet teak is covered before it has completely dried. This occurs more commonly in warm, humid climates. If this happens, follow the cleaning instructions above immediately to prevent stains that are difficult to remove.
