Teak is the ideal type of wood for outdoor furniture. The wood is very durable and resistant to wind and weather due to its natural oil content and it is not attacked by insects and rot. We only use FSC®-certified teak at Carl Hansen & Søn.
Normal Cleaning And Maintenance - Untreated Teak
Before using your new teak furniture, you should consider which kind of look you prefer for your furniture. If you choose to leave your furniture untreated, the colour of the light brown teak will change to the very characteristic silver-gray surface, for which untreated teak is known. This process of transformation depends on the specific environment where the furniture is located and will happen within weeks or months.
If, on the other hand, you want the furniture to remain a golden, warm colour, you get the best results by oil-treating the furniture before using it the first time.
For normal cleaning, use a damp cloth soaked in warm water.
