How to Clean Teak with Golden Care Teak Cleaner

Scrub it in along the timber grain
Let the product be on the timber for 10 minutes, scrub it again

FAQs about Golden Care Teak Cleaner

Is it better than warm soapy water?

Most definitely because it will also brighten the timber. Warm soapy water is great but Golden Care Teak cleaner is better.

What are common mistakes when using it?

A classic mistake is to not rinse it well enough after cleaning, that will lead to a white residue left on the timber.

You can also end up with this problem if you leave the cleaner on for too long.

If that happens to you, just bring out the sander and go over the teak with 120-240 grit sandpaper. It’s a quick exercise that will also fix any rough areas.

How often should I clean teak?

We recommend that you clean your Teak every 3-6 months.

A couple of things to keep in mind when cleaning Teak:

Don’t use stiff brushes or anything that can scratch the teak
The more diligent you are the less sanding you will have to employ
Have your favorite drink at hand to make it bearable
Keep the surrounding areas wet, should you splash cleaner and dirt around.
