Properly caring for teak furniture will ensure that you can enjoy it for many years. Unlike other woods, teak does not always have to be finished. It has a high oil content that protects it from many of the element that damage other wood. This is one reason that it is used so often in outdoor furniture designs. Teak furniture is particularly resistant to damages from the sun, water, heat and insects. This natural characteristic can start to wane after many years, though, so there are a few things you can do to make your teak furniture extra durable. Use a butcher’s block oil to clean teak furniture, not water. Wipe down with a dry rag fairly often to prevent buildup of dirt. Store or cover outdoor teak furniture when you are not using it. If you do not want to store your teak furniture, you can even move it inside for use indoors. Or you can simply move your teak chairs, benches and tables to a covered space where they will be slightly protected from weather elements. No material is completely indestructible, but if you take some special care of your teak furniture, many generations may be able to enjoy it after you.
