You have paid a huge sum of money if you have bought teak furniture. So it is advisable to maintain them properly. Although teak furniture are resistant to all natural cause such as insects, rain and sunlight, proper care needs to be taken to ensure the new look of the furniture. The original color of the teak furniture is lustrous honey, but as it ages its natural color changes to silver gray. So sometimes it is suggested to have it coated with teak oil. It prevents the natural loss of the oil content of the wood.

Some people choose to treat their teak furniture with oil, wax or lacquer while other choose to let their teak furniture weather and turn to a silver grey, which is its natural state when it is not treated. Either way is ones own choice. Before applying oil, furniture needs to be cleaned with soap or water. Teak oil should never be applied over dirt. After furniture is completely dry, a light coat of oil is advised. Using a soft cloth is best, but you may even use soft brush. Wipe off all excess oil.
