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.

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.
