3 Step Teak Restoration: How to Clean, Brighten & Oil Teak Furniture

This video demonstrates how to clean, brighten and oil teak patio furniture using two methods based on the condition of the wood.

STEP 1 - CLEAN

For badly weathered wood: We first clean a teak chair with heavy gray patina from years of neglect. For wood in this condition, apply the cleaner to dry wood. Use a Star brite Stainless Steel Teak Scrubber for rough spots.

For lightly weathered & veneer teak: Next we clean a table that was in fair condition to prepare it for oiling. For lightly weathered and delicate, thin veneer first wet the surface before applying the cleaner. We recommend a fine to medium scrub pad and let the cleaner do the work.

TIP FOR VENEER:
Veneer teak uses a thin layer of wood glued onto a wooden board, which mimics the look and feel of natural wood and solid wood.

How to tell if your teak is veneer?

Solid wood furniture is heavier than a veneered piece. You’ll be able to feel the grain if a piece is made of solid wood. Banding to cover unfinished edges is another sign of a veneer.

It is OK to clean and refinish veneer, but scrub gently and do not use harsh abrasive pads or teak scrubbers. Star brite Teak Cleaner/Brightener is gentle and does not require heavy scrubbing to clean.

STEP 2: BRIGHTEN
Brightens teak and other fine woods. Highlights wood grain and enhances warm natural color. Use as the second step in the restoration of grey weathered teak. Apply with sponge, cloth or brush in direction of wood grain. Allow to remain on surface for 5 minutes then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

STEP 3: TEAK OIL

Teak oil seal, protects, and beautifies. It is easy to apply. We recommend using a foam brush and then wiping excess with a clean, soft polishing cloth. Apply as needed in between cleanings.
