<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>How To Care For Teak Outdoor Furniture</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Donald Rinchen</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Teak outdoor furniture is the number one quality garden furniture you can find. Outdoor teak furniture is also very simple to look after. Teakwood has unique properties which make it perfect for using outside. Teak furniture takes just a small amount attention to last decades.<br />
<br />
Teak wood is an expensive wood. However, we should conclude that teak outdoor furniture is a great investment based on its durability.<br />
<br />
You should clean your outdoor teak furniture sometimes in order to undo any dirt. You may spray water using a garden hose without high pressure to wash the dirt off. After that, using a soft bristled brush, rub the teak wood not too roughly with a mix of water, mild detergent, and a few tablespoons of bleach. If you use too much bleach will make the wood pale so using bleach is optional. Then rinse another time using pure water. Wipe the surface dry using a towel to finish.<br />
<br />
Outdoor teak furniture that is kept outdoors will by nature start to gradually shift color from the golden honey tone of new wood to a silver-gray color. The process of teakwood fading to gray patina is natural and just cosmetic. The process does not reduce the longevity of your patio furniture.<br />
<br />
A few people really like the golden tone of brand new teak outdoor furniture and buy teak oil in order to keep the gold color. However, teak oil is not worth it because it has to be reapplied every three months from the time you start applying it. Oils could also improve the chance for mildew and black spots to appear. It is better to use teak sealer yearly after cleaning your teak outdoor furniture if you want to try to preserve the golden honey color.<br />
<br />
You might choose to employ furniture covers to protect your outdoor teak furniture, particularly for the winter months or if your home is in a location that has a lot of dust. If you want to do so, make certain to employ furniture covers made from a breathable material. Do not choose a plastic cover which is certain to trap moisture. It would increase the likelihood of mold forming on your furniture.<br />
<br />
Dark stains such as red wine can get taken care of by a light sanding of the very top layer of your teak garden furniture. Start with a mid grade sandpaper and then finish off with a fine grade to get the surface of the wood nice and smooth. Sanding like this is another way to bring out the honey coloring of teak wood because you will expose a fresh layer of teak wood which is permeated with natural oils.<br />
<br />
No matter if your furniture is a teak gliding bench or a teak bath mat, a bit of maintenance will go a long way.<br />
<br />
As you can see, your teak patio furniture should last a lifetime with little maintenance for you to do. Because it lasts such a long time, teak is preferred to other types of wood. You can know that the teak patio set you get today will be enjoyed by your family in future generations.<br />
