easier, or, a pressure washer works wonderfully too.) then allow the
furniture to fully dry
3. Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust
4. Use true teak oil - do NOT use "finish". This is available from a store
which would stock boating and marine supplies (teak oil is
used extensively on boats).
5. The oil can be applied with a clean brush, starting from the top and
working downwards. The surface should be left wet by the brush, but try
to avoid leaving too much surplus oil behind as you work. After a few
minutes - maybe 5 - 15 depending on the ambient temperature, the oil
will start to become 'tacky'. At this point the surface of the furniture
should be wiped down with a clean cotton rag, carefully removing all
surplus oil. One coat is sufficient.
6. Teak oil will trap dirt and darken with age, therefore it will be necessary
to scrub off the old oil and recoat periodically (once a year is generally
sufficient). Follow the instruction on the teak oil label.
**When used as indoor furniture, a light coating of teak oil
is recommended to keep the furniture from soiling and will last for
years without need for recoat.
