How Do You Clean and Seal Outdoor Teak Furniture?

Outdoor teak furniture is a great investment for any homeowner. It is strong, durable, and easy to maintain.

However, it does require some special care and attention. In order to keep your teak furniture looking great for many years to come, you will need to clean and seal it regularly.

Cleaning the teak furniture should be done on a regular basis with a mild soap and water solution. Start by brushing away dirt, dust, and any other debris from the surface of the furniture with a soft brush.

Then mix a mild soap and water solution in a bucket or spray bottle. Use this solution to scrub away any remaining dirt using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water when finished.

Once the furniture has been cleaned, it’s time to seal it. This helps protect it from UV rays, moisture damage, staining, and fading.

Start by lightly sanding the entire surface of the furniture using medium-grit sandpaper or sanding pads. This helps remove any remaining dirt that may have been missed during cleaning and prepares the surface for sealing.

Next, apply an outdoor teak sealer with a soft cloth in even strokes following the wood grain of the furniture. Allow the sealer to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Conclusion: Cleaning and sealing outdoor teak furniture is an important part of keeping your investment looking great for years to come. Start by cleaning off dirt and debris with a mild soap and water solution then seal it with an outdoor teak sealer once dry.

With proper maintenance you can ensure your teak furniture looks beautiful for many years!
