Cleaning and Oiling Teak Benches: Proper Garden Furniture Care

TEAK OIL & DECKING OIL FOR OUTDOOR WOOD Sun and rain change wood. Even weather-resistant woods like teak fade and turn grey over time. Regular oiling with OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil counteracts the silver-grey patina and helps protect the wood surface from drying out and becoming brittle. The oil penetrates deep into the wood and protects from within. The surface remains open-pored and water-repellent, and the colour and grain are visibly refreshed – without a sealed film layer. Which woods and applications are suitable for OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil? For wooden decks, decking boards, garden furniture, pool surrounds and yacht decks made of suitable outdoor woods such as teak, bangkirai, Douglas fir, larch, eucalyptus, robinia, oak, ipé or cumaru. The right choice if the warm wood character is to be preserved and visibly enhanced, and you are looking for a biocide-free wood oil for outdoor use. A particular advantage is the easy maintenance: The oil penetrates the wood and remains open-pored. The oil coating does not crack, peel, or flake. Therefore, already oiled surfaces can usually be re-oiled easily without sanding. What does wood look like after OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil? The oiling gives the wood depth and warmth. Colour and grain become more prominent, and the surface remains open-pored and natural to the touch. Natural is pigment-free, but not optically colourless: like any enhancing oil, it deepens the existing wood tone. Teak is lightly pigmented, subtly supports warm wood tones, and offers increased UV protection. The colour Teak is also suitable for other wood types without changing them to an opaque teak tone. Wood type, natural colour, and sanding affect the colour tone. A sample on the original wood shows it most reliably. All colours are available as samplers. How easy is OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil to apply? Apply thinly, let it soak in, remove excess. Apply the oil evenly in the direction of the grain and polish completely after about 15 minutes. Only apply to clean, dry wood. Protect the freshly oiled surface from rain and moisture for 5–8 days afterwards. Very dry or highly absorbent wood can be oiled a second time after drying overnight. Treat dense woods like teak only thinly. One application is usually sufficient for refreshing. Already oiled surfaces can usually be maintained without sanding. Depending on the weather and use, a refresh once a year is usually sufficient, or twice if the wood is exposed to the elements. What can you rely on with OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil? Proven for many years. We have been producing OLI NATURA® Yacht & Teak Oil for over 20 years with almost no changes. We deliberately formulate it without biocides and preservatives. Therefore, the wood oil is not only suitable for outdoor use but also for suitable wood surfaces indoors.
