-Teak Construction: Crafted from durable, dense, coarse-grained hardwood, teak contains high levels of resinous oils that make it naturally resistant to moisture, repellent to insects, and impervious to drying. This ensures that your furniture will remain solid, sturdy, and attractive for years to come. -Oiling/Sealing Teak Furniture: Treating teak with oil or teak sealer helps to retain and enhance the teak's natural golden honey color. It does not affect its strength or longevity. However, know that remains outside for extended periods of time may require re-oiling or re-sealing approximately every 2 to 3 months. -Storing Teak Furniture: When your teak furniture is not in use, we recommend using covers, storing it indoors, or placing it in a waterproof shed or garage to protect it from the elements. If stored in a heated room, avoid immediately moving it into a cold outdoor area, as sudden differences in temperature and humidity may cause the wood to split. -Cleaning Teak Furniture: Although naturally resistant to decay, mildew can form on the surface, especially when used outside for long periods of time. Surface mildew does not affect the durability or longevity of the wood and can be easily washed off. To clean the surface, either spray the furniture with water or apply a mild washing solution and scrub the surface with a soft-bristle brush.
