Teak & Wood Furniture Cleaning
at Paine's Patio on Cape Cod
About Teak and Wood outdoor furniture cleaning and maintenance. Since teak and wood are natural materials and will always weather and checker. We suggest using a power washer on the lightest setting with a mild cleanser. This process will bring teak back to its golden color. Apply teak sealer to your furniture to help seal and maintain the natural teak color. Adding teak sealer to your furniture helps resist mold and prevents black spots on teak. Paine’s Patio recommends that you store your teak furniture for the winter to protect it from checking or advanced weathering.
