CARE INSTRUCTIONS
So now you know: Once a client opts for a well-made grade A shower bench or mat, there’s
not much more they need to do but relax and enjoy their spa-like shower experience. And
any suggestion that natural grade A teak requires regular maintenance beyond
mild soap
and a bristle brush is either lack of knowledge,
hiding inferior quality wood, or will
compromise the quality of the piece.
Have you heard or read something different on how to clean teak?
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions that you might have.
Teak is maintenance-free. Grade A teak,
when left 100% natural, doesn’t need
any protection from the weather,
elements or pests. It inherently has
everything it needs to take care of itself.
Contrary to popular belief, you
don’t
need a special 'teak cleaner' or 'teak oil' to
take care
of your teak – ever! In fact,
once treated, there are no
guarantees
how the piece will handle itself when
exposed
to the elements.
Here's how to take care of teak properly:
• Rinse the item with warm water and scrub with
a plastic bristle brush.
• As well as the exposed surface, shower mats
and benches should be washed underneath to
get rid of any accumulation of soap residue.
• The use of detergents or abrasive products can
damage your teak and affect its durability. Use
warm water and a plastic bristle brush only.
Before use, wash using a plastic
bristle brush, dish soap and water to
remove manufacturing sawdust and
surface oil.
• Use a constant flow of water
• Brush in the direction of the grain
• Don’t forget to flip your shower benches
and mats over to get underneath.
