Welcome to our Community Q&A page for Teak Patio Furniture.

I have exspensive teak wood patio furniture, now a couple of years old, but they need help. They are seasoned and need to be brought back to life. Is there a simple way to clean & finish them? Is there an oil to rub on them?

Our teak furniture is looking dirty or mildewy. I am wondering how to make it look clean or more fresh looking. It is only a year old.

I have been refurbishing wood for over 7 years now and I love it. I redid our redwood deck, patio furniture, 2 roll top desks, kitchen table, cabinets, upstairs bathroom and much more. But have not worked with teak wood yet. My neighbors recently asked me if I would like to earn some extra $ by redoing their teak wood patio set that they have owned for 7 years. They complimented me on all the work they have seen me do over the years and wanted to get my "professional" opinon. I went over and checked their patio set out and said I would get back to them in a couple of days. I've researched several websites and have gotten lots of ideas, but they are all so different in the how-to's. I would like to do a great job for them and make some money at the same time but am a little apprehensive. I would also like to know if anyone could give me an estimate or ballpark figure on how much one usually charges for something like this. It's a 5 piece octogonal table and chairs with slates

I have been asked to refurbish my neighbors teak patio set (1 octogonal table and 4 chairs w/slats). I have refinished loads of wood furniture before but never teak. I know how to clean and seal it but just want some kind of a ball park figure on how much I should charge.

I am getting new teak patio furniture and want to keep its golden brown color.

to retain its mahgony color. (no turning gray/silver)

I know that teak is the best wood for patio furniture because of many properties of the wood but was wondering if I bought a piece of furniture that was meant to be indoors but it was made out of teak and I put it outdoors, would it hold up well?

I am concerned because this is something we eat off of.

Is this possible and what is the best process? Any answers would be of great help. Thanks Thanks for your great response!!

I recently bought a beautiful small dining set which is made of untreated teak root....I have noticed that it was starting to crack in quite a few places so to stop it getting worse I have slapped a load of beeswax on it and buffed it in......will this do the trick? and should I use finishing wax on it.? many thanks.

Hello I have a 1959 G-Plan dining room set that has some wear as you might expect of something of that age, mainly around the chair legs and on the backrests. I think that using a coloured furniture wax will improve the look of this wear. On looking at products available on the internet, I am confused about what to use and what will be best (bearing in mind I don't want to spend over about £25 in total as I plan to sell the set - I would love to keep them but I do not have the room). Can anyone tell me which types of wax are best? The chair legs are black and the chair backs are teak so I will need at least two different colours. The set is exactly like this set on eBay (apart from mine have the original upholstery): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V… If anyone can give me advice on the best products to use, that would be a great help - there is so much available I have no idea where to start! Many thanks.

I purchase teak cleaner from a boat supply store, and its taking forever give. All of the slats in the table, chairs and chaise lounges....I've read this that you shouldn't power wash teak because it can splinter. So my question is has anyone ever power washed outdoor teak furniture and what was the result?
