CARE INSTRUCTIONS
So now you know: once a client opts for a well-made grade A teak shower bench or mat, 
there’s not much more they need to do but relax and enjoy their spa-like shower experience. 
Any suggestion that natural grade A teak requires regular maintenance beyond mild soap 
and a bristle brush is due to either ignorance or an attempt to hide inferior quality wood, and 
it will compromise the quality of the piece.
Have you heard or read something different on how to clean teak?
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions that you might have.
Teak is maintenance-free. Grade A teak, 
when left 100% natural, doesn’t need  
any protection from the weather, 
elements or pests. It already contains 
everything it needs to take care of itself. 
Contrary to popular belief, you 
don’t 
need a special 'teak cleaner' or 'teak oil' to 
take care 
of your teak – ever! In fact, 
once treated, there are no
guarantees 
how the piece will handle itself when 
exposed
 to the elements. 
Here's how to take care of teak 
properly: 
• Rinse the item with warm water and scrub with 
a plastic bristle brush.
• In addition to cleaning exposed surfaces, the 
undersides of shower mats and benches should 
be washed to remove soap and product residue 
build-up.
• Use only a soft bristle brush, mild soap, and 
warm water. Detergents or abrasive products 
can damage your teak and harm its durability.
Before use, wash using a plastic
bristle brush, dish soap, and water to 
remove manufacturing sawdust and 
surface oil. This is important because 
manufacturing residue can cause stains 
if the teak is not cleaned before use.
• Use a constant flow of water
• Brush in the direction of the grain
• Don’t forget to flip your shower benches
 and mats over to get underneath.
