How to Keep Teak Protected

In yesterday’s post, I told you all about the importance of keeping your teak furniture clean and how a teak cleaning solution is the best way to do that. However, cleaning is not the only part of taking care of your outdoor teak furniture. Today I want to recommend that on top using a teak cleaning solution, you also purchase a teak protector as well.

As we all know, when you first buy teak furniture, it is a beautiful, honey-brown ginger color. Unfortunately, exposure to the elements will cause the wood to weather and fade, leaving it stripped of its original beauty. Also, if mold and/or mildew begin to grow on your furniture, they will create unsightly black spots on your wood, which also detract from the aesthetic appeal of your patio. Using a teak protecting solution will prevent wood from fading, mold and mildew from growing, and black spots from appearing on your furniture. However, if your teak is already afflicted with these problems, never fear! Simply use teak cleaner to restore your teak to its original glory, and then follow up with teak protector to keep it that way. If you take proper care of your teak, you can keep it looking like new for years to come.
