When the surface of the wood starts to feel rough it is time to treat your teak with Robust Teak Protector. A thin layer should be applied and left to soak into the wood. If too much is used, the colour will run off the surface and could stain chairs, patios etc. After this, treat with Teak Shield to repel moisture and protect against mould and mildew.
Because it takes some time and effort to clean teak, we recommend using LIFE Outdoor Living Robust Teak Protector and Teak Shield at least three times a year to prolong the colour and prevent weathering, and a thin coating of Teak Shield should be applied every 2-3 months during the summer season.
During the teak manufacturing process Teak Shield is applied. As it can take a while for shipping and purchase, we suggest that the Teak Shield is reapplied directly after purchase.
LIFE Outdoor Living Teak Cleaner can be used for intensive cleaning of weathered teak, and will kill fungi and algae within the teak wood. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle and the colour of new teak will be restored. If you wish to use a different cleaner, always test the effect of this in a hidden spot.
Yes. An All Weather cushion (developed by LIFE Outdoor Living) can be left outdoors throughout the entire season. These cushions are produced from high-quality synthetic products - when it rains the water goes through the cushion cover and into the microporous inner cushion. By pressing down on the cushions or placing the cushions on their edges, they will be dry in a relatively short period of time.
Although the cushions are All Weather, to keep them clean and prolong their life, we suggest covering them when not in use and storing indoors for the winter months.
