Teak Maintenance

Teak is one of the most durable materials for outdoor furniture. Tribù selects only the finest Javanese plantation wood, harvested in accordance with strict environmental standards. Over time, when exposed to sun and rain, teak will naturally develop a silver-grey patina.

We recommend using Teak Super Cleaner to clean soiled furniture. If Teak Sealer is applied every season, a simple cleaning with water and a pH neutral soap will do for years. Teak Sealer is a sealer and is not the same as varnish. It is breathable, letting the natural oils escape without bubbling or peeling like varnish. Teak Protector protects the wood against stains and green deposit, without colouring the wood. We recommend to apply it after each cleaning.

This process is cosmetic and does not harm the strength or quality of the wood. To avoid the annual cleaning of the wood, you can apply Teak Sealer. Teak Sealer contains UV protection to slow down the greying from the sun as well as a fungicide to prevent the growth of mould and mildew. Teak Sealer can be applied to new teak or old teak furniture after it has been cleaned.

While this ageing process cannot be prevented, it can be managed and maintained using the appropriate care products:

• Step 1 – Teak Super Cleaner
  Restores the wood and brings it back to its original texture.
• Step 2 – Teak Protector
  If you prefer to maintain the original colour, apply to new or sanded wood after two to three weeks. This creates an invisible protective layer while preserving the natural tone.
• Step 3 – Teak Sealer
  Helps to slow down the greying process and maintain a more even appearance over time.
