Teak Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
While teak is naturally resistant to bacteria
and mildew, build up may still occur from
soap residue, minerals or other impurities
from your water. Therefore, Seachrome
strongly recommends performing routine
cleanings each time you clean your shower
or bathroom or when you notice some build-
up. Remember that teak has a slip-resistant
surface, but a soapy build-up can
compromise this, so it is important to clean
the surface regularly. To keep your teak
looking new, we recommend a deep cleaning
at least every 3 months or more depending
on use.
NOTE: Do not use a power washer.
For a quick cleaning, simply apply water with a soft nylon bristle brush in the shower area and
lightly scrub the teak until all the residue is removed. Then rinse the teak surface with clean water
and wipe dry.
For a deep cleaning, we recommend a commercial teak cleaner to remove any mildew or
discoloration. These cleaners won’t strip the wood of its natural oils and non-slip characteristics.
Steps:
1. Apply the cleaning solution to your teak liberally and allow the cleaning solution 1-2 minutes
working time to soak in
2. Next use a soft bristle brush to scrub the teak surface and loosen deeply imbedded soap
scum and debris, then spray with clean water
3. If necessary, completely clean and disinfect several times
4. Finally allow the teak to dry completely
5. Apply a fresh coat of clear teak oil or teak sealer to restore the woods natural warmth and
