Coastal Teak 72" Dining Table

Care Instructions

Teak is unlike any other wood species -its survival outdoors is far superior to others such as mahogany and redwood. It is especially recognized for its high natural oil content which prevents the wood from drying out and therefore not split or crack, making it the premier choice for outdoor furniture, marine & yacht industry. Caring for your Teak is an individual decision, ranging from periodical cleaning using teak cleaner mixed with warm water. First rinse with water, then scrub the cleaner on following the wood grain pattern using a scrub-pad, then rinse thoroughly with water and let it air dry. If you wish to preserve the golden color of the natural teak you may treat the furniture with a teak sealer such as Golden Care. Weathering cracks are small openings primarily found in the �end-grain� of the wood can occur during the aging process and is to be expected and is not covered by warranty. Natural yellow unfinished teak will weather to a silver-gray patina over time which only becomes more beautiful with age! Finished Teak furniture follow the same care directions except replacing scrub pad with a cloth/rag. The applied factory finish will eventually begin to fade and wear off with age. Especially if out in a fully outdoors environment. The furniture will transition to a natural weathered rustic finish with age. Covering teak furniture is not recommended as this promotes mildew and surface mold because solid wood is still a breathing live media that reacts to the elements it is living in! We recommend Golden Care� teak cleaner & teak shield for cleaning & preserving. Avoid any type of teak oils as they attract dirt & pollution particles.
