Teak Care Kits

The Golden Care Teak Care Kit is a three-step system: a Teak Cleaner & Restorer, which removes dirt, grime, mildew, algae and grey weathering; a Teak Colour Protector; and a Teak Water-Repellent Shield. The Golden Care Teak Protector is also sold on its own.

No. Teak can be left to weather naturally to silver-grey, which takes six to twelve months and does not affect its strength. Australia's strong UV can speed up the change.

If you prefer the original honey colour, apply a teak sealer and re-apply it every 9 to 12 months. Our Australian teak care guide explains both options.

No. We advise against oiling outdoor teak. Oils can trap moisture and encourage mould in humid conditions, and can leave dark patches on new furniture. Teak's natural oils already protect the timber.

To keep the colour, use a sealer or protector instead.

Once or twice a year with mild soapy water and a soft or medium brush, working with the grain, then rinse and let it dry in the sun. In coastal areas, rinse occasionally to remove salt residue.

Avoid pressure washing and harsh chemicals; both damage the timber surface.

Use the Cleaner & Restorer from the Golden Care Teak Care Kit, which lifts weathered surface fibres to restore a brighter, more even appearance without heavy scrubbing or sanding. Once the timber is completely dry, apply the Colour Protector.

Restoration is best kept for furniture that is heavily weathered; regular light cleaning is enough most of the time.

Clean the area with mild soapy water or the teak cleaner, scrub gently along the grain, rinse and let it dry fully in sunlight. A light bloom on furniture when it arrives after shipping is cosmetic and wipes off with a damp cloth.
