TEAK

PRODUCT CARE

KANNOA teak requires little to no maintenance. When left outdoors, it will gradually develop a handsome silver- gray patina over time. This natural weathering process typically takes around nine months, depending on the level of sun and rain exposure.

  • To keep your teak furniture looking its best, clean it periodically with a soft-bristle brush or sponge. Water spots or slight discoloration may appear during the weathering process, but these will even out as the wood matures, resulting in a uniform silver-gray finish.
  • For general cleaning, mix a solution of four parts laundry detergent or dishwashing soap to one part bleach in water. Using a soft-bristle brush, gently scrub the furniture to remove dirt and debris. Once finished, rinse the entire piece thoroughly to ensure all residue is removed. Regular cleaning will help maintain the furniture’s natural beauty and longevity.
  • If you prefer to preserve teak’s original golden color, a teak conditioner can be applied every three months. However, keep in mind that oiling outdoor teak is not recommended, as it may lead to mildew growth or uneven coloration
  • Teak naturally contains oils that may seep out following the first few rainfalls. To protect your cushions from potential staining, bring them indoors before the furniture gets wet. Please note that stains caused by teak oil are not covered under warranty.
  • Stains from teak oil are not covered under warranty.

WARNING

Some spots may be hard to get rid of using the above cleaning procedure. Their properties may make them uncleanable by the usual methods and it may be necessary to use products that can be harmful to textiles. So before using them, it is advisable to consider whether you really need to. You may need the services of a specialist.
Generally speaking, you should not use solvents or abrasives. The resistance of our textiles to chemicals depends on a number of factors such as the form of the chemicals (solid, liquid or gaseous), temperature, concentration and contact time. In some cases, a mixture of cleaning agents can be harmful even though each product on its own is not.
Consequently the following products are prohibited:

  • Abrasives of any sort, powders, pastes, liquids, abrasive sponges and pressured steam generators.
  • Organic chemical products such as acetone, petrol, benzene fuel oil, kerosene, perchlorethylene, terebenthine, toluene, trichlorethylene and petroleum.
  • Inorganic chemical products such as ammonia, nitric acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, soda, cauctic soda and bleach water.
