-
The allure of natural teak lies in its unique beauty and distinctive grain patterns.
-
Over time and depending on climate and exposure, teak weathers to an exquisite silver-grey patina.
-
The wood may expand and contract with climate variations, resulting in hairline cracks in the assembly joints or the grain.
-
This does not compromise the frame's structural integrity.
-
Exposure to rain and humidity may cause the natural oils in teak to rise to the surface, resembling water stains.
- Oil content can differ among pieces, so oil surfacing may occur multiple times before gradually subsiding over several months.
CLEANING + CARE
-
Periodically hose down the surfaces with water and HARBOUR Teak Cleaner, scrubbing along the grain direction to remove dirt, mold, and mildew.
-
Preserve the original quality of teak by applying HARBOUR Teak Cleaner at the start and end of each season.
-
Moisture exposure can cause the wood grain to rise. Use fine 120-grit sandpaper for light sanding to restore a smooth surface.
-
For stubborn areas, use a power washer with a pressure not exceeding 1200 PSI. Hold the power washer approximately 30" away from the furniture. Rinse and allow the furniture to dry under the sun.
