T E A K C A R E & M A I N T E N A N C E
Skyline Design teak undergoes a meticulous kiln drying process, resulting in a moisture content of 12%. However,
even after drying, teak can still absorb moisture, leading to natural expansion and contraction, commonly referred
to as ‘movement.’ This movement is influenced by changes in temperature and humidity, with outdoor conditions
being more extreme than indoor environments. To accommodate this natural behavior, outdoor teak furniture
typically features slats rather than wide boards. Although our furniture is designed to minimize timber movement,
it cannot be entirely prevented.
If you plan to store your teak furniture during the winter, we recommend doing so in a dry garden shed or garage.
However, it’s important to avoid directly moving teak furniture from the garden into a heated indoor room for
storage. The sharp contrasts in temperature and humidity could result in excessive movement and potentially
cause splits in the wood.
The appearance of oil on the surface of teak furniture is completely normal. Teak naturally contains oils that
contribute to its suitability for outdoor furniture and serve as indicators of high-quality teak. These oils are
essential for the wood’s ability to withstand the extreme temperature and humidity conditions it encounters
outdoors. During the initial exposure to rain, the oils and pigments within the teak’s surface layer may gradually
be washed out. This is a natural occurrence, and the bleeding will diminish over time, usually within 2-3 months,
depending on the furniture’s environment.
To prevent staining, it is advisable not to place new teak furniture on light-colored, porous stone patio surfaces
until the bleeding process has subsided. Additionally, during the first few months of exposure, it’s best to avoid
leaving cushions covered in light-colored fabrics on or near teak furniture during wet weather. The initial period
sees a higher amount of oil being released from the teak, which increases the likelihood of staining surfaces and
fabrics. If cushions or fabrics do become stained by the teak’s oils, we recommend using our proprietary solution
for effective stain removal.
Cleaning with Teak Cleaner:
1. Before using Teak Cleaner, wear eye protection and rubber gloves for safety.
2. Cover the ground under your working area to protect it from any potential spills or splashes.
3. Moisten the surface of the teak furniture thoroughly with clean water before applying the cleaner.
4. Spray the Teak Cleaner onto the wet stained area and allow it to soak in for approximately 3 minutes.
5. Use the scrubbing pad supplied with the cleaner to remove any dirt and grease from the teak. Scrub gently
but effectively.
6. Rinse the treated surface thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining cleaner residue.
7. Allow the teak furniture to air dry completely.
