Grubby Teak Garden Furniture

Options
Hi

I have some teak garden furniture that looks well past its best, it had gone all grey (I know it's supposed to go that colour) but I hated it and was thinking of putting it on Ebay and buying something cheaper that I could replace easily when it was worn.

A friend suggested I buy some teak cleaner - I was skeptical re whether it would work as well as she said and the company I bought it from also had a youtube link on their website to show how easily the teak was cleaned which again I didn't believe.

Well now I do believe them both. I've cleaned a couple of the chairs this evening and they're looking fantastic.

I would highly recommend it if you too are wondering how to make your teak look like new again.

I bought mine from Wessex Chemical Factors, see here (i'm not linked in any way to the company)

    Cleaned many a teak set with a pressure washer - only for hardwood though.

    try painting it with a shades colour, will still keep the woodgrain effect just change the colour, i.e. pale blue , pale green, georgian brown, loads of colours but still leave the wood grain without it looking painted (glossed over).
