We Will Keep Your Teak Clean, Protected, and Looking Great Year-Round.
Teak outdoor furniture is one of the best investments you can make for your patio or outdoor space. Teak wood contains high natural oil content that makes it resistant to moisture, insects, and decay, and its dense grain limits dirt and microorganism penetration. Left completely untreated, teak naturally weathers to a silver-gray patina over time. That color change causes no structural damage, but most homeowners prefer to maintain the original warm honey brown tone the wood carries when new.
Proper teak furniture care keeps that golden color intact, prevents tough stains from setting into the grain, and extends the life of your furniture well beyond the 25 to 30 years quality teak pieces deliver under routine cleaning and sealing.

Our Outdoor Teak Maintenance Services
Leave the teak care to us. Teak & Deck Professionals provides a complete outdoor teak maintenance service that reviews the condition of your wood on a regular basis and performs one or all of the following treatments as needed.
Teak Cleaning
Routine cleaning removes dirt buildup, bird droppings, food stains, water stains, and surface debris before they penetrate the wood's surface. We use professional teak cleaner products formulated for natural teak outdoor furniture, applied with a soft bristle brush and worked in the direction of the grain. (For a full walkthrough of the at-home version, see our guide on how to clean teak furniture properly.)
Harsh cleaners damage the surface of teak furniture and accelerate drying, so we avoid them entirely. Spills get addressed promptly to prevent staining, and we rinse with warm water and a garden hose before allowing the furniture to dry completely.
For deep clean situations involving mold, mildew, or stubborn stains, we apply a teak-specific cleaner and gently scrub with a scrub brush suited to the wood's surface. Our guide on removing mold and mildew from outdoor furniture covers what to try before the buildup sets.
Steel wool and pressure washers stay off teak entirely. A pressure washer strips the wood's natural oils and causes splintering that shortens the life of the piece.
Teak furniture benefits from a good cleaning once or twice a year at minimum, with spot cleaning after heavy rain, sun exposure events, or any buildup of dirt that could trap moisture against the grain.
Fine Teak Sanding
Light sanding restores teak's smooth finish and natural oils when weathering has dulled the surface beyond what cleaning alone addresses. A light sanding can restore teak's original honey-brown color and prepare the wood to accept a fresh sealer coat. We use fine grit sandpaper and work in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches. Aggressive sanding removes the wood's natural oils and permanently damages the original finish, so we treat this step with care and stop once the weathered layer lifts cleanly.
After sanding, we apply a pH-balancing treatment to open the wood's pores and prepare the surface for sealing.
Protective Seal
Applying teak sealer is the most important treatment in the cleaning process for long-term furniture care. Teak protectors slow down the natural silvering process and maintain the wood's golden tone by forming a protective barrier against UV rays, moisture, and outdoor use conditions. Teak sealers offer superior protection compared to traditional teak oil, which attracts dirt and encourages mildew growth on outdoor furniture. Our penetrating sealers work from the inside out, and the furniture dries completely and stays ready for use within 24 hours.
We recommend applying teak sealer every 6 to 12 months depending on sun exposure and weather conditions. New teak benefits from sealing immediately at purchase, before first use, to lock in the original golden tone and prevent early weathering.
For added protection between professional maintenance visits, breathable furniture covers keep teak pieces dry during heavy rain and reduce the frequency of deep cleaning needed.

Natural Teak Outdoor Furniture: What Makes It Different
Teak comes from the Tectona grandis tree, a hardwood native to South and Southeast Asia. Its naturally high oil content makes it water-resistant and gives it the density that separates it from softer outdoor furniture materials. That same oil content affects how finishes adhere, which is why the cleaning process and surface preparation matter before any teak care product goes on. (Our overview of teak outdoor furniture breaks down the wood's properties in more detail.)
Weathered teak develops cosmetic changes like surface cracks and color variations due to humidity changes and sun exposure. These do not compromise structural integrity. A light sanding and fresh sealer coat address the cosmetic layer without touching the solid wood beneath.
We service teak from every major manufacturer — see the full list of furniture brands we service.
