Use and Care Guide

AquaTeak® Product Care
Your product is made of solid teak wood and is enhanced with our proprietary finish. This finish
adds a rich and protective coating and does not require any special maintenance other than an
occasional cleaning with a soft bristle brush and mild detergent. When the product is not exposed to
water or sunlight it will maintain the same look for many years.
Product options when exposed to water or sunlight (does not apply to Mocha
finish):
Do nothing and enjoy the natural weathering patina that evolves with normal use. Teak furniture
when exposed to water and sunlight will slowly fade to a natural silver-gray color. This color
transformation does not affect the durability of the teak furniture.
Do not consistently leave teak furniture in standing water.
If you prefer to keep your teak product at its original color instead of letting it weather to a silvery-
grey patina then an occasional coat of AquaTeak Premium Teak Oil applied to the furniture will help
maintain that look. Apply a small amount of teak oil on a soft rag and rub onto a clean & dry teak
product. After you have oiled the product wipe again with a clean dry rag to remove excess oil. The
oil is meant to penetrate the wood not sit on top. Follow the instructions on the teak oil bottle.
If your furniture has turned silver-gray from weathering in the shower or sun; you may choose to
restore the finish. You must first remove the thin weathered layer by using AquaTeak Cleaner &
Brightener before applying teak oil.
As the wood weathers, you may notice small cracks, this is called "checking". This is normal and in
no way affects the stability and integrity of the furniture.
