Wood Care & Protection

Caring for Your Teak Furniture: A Guide to Long-lasting Beauty

At DecoTeak, we take pride in providing teak shower benches and bathroom furniture with a water-resistant factory finish. As time passes, this finish may naturally wear down and lose its luster. To extend the life of your DecoTeak Woodland Brown or EcoDecors Natural EarthyTeak finishes, we recommend the following simple steps:

After each use, spray the benches with clean water to remove any soap or shampoo residues. Some products contain harsh chemicals that, if left on the shower furniture, may degrade the teak wood finish.
Periodically clean the benches with a neutral pH cleaner, free from harsh solvents. Our Loveable EPA Safe Choice Teak Wood shower furniture cleaner is specially designed for this purpose. We suggest using it once a week, or at least once a month. Don't forget to clean the underside of the seat, as soap and shampoo can find their way there too.
If you notice the factory finish beginning to fade, consider using our Loveable Teak Oil. This product helps moisturize, clean, and provide a water-resistant coating, rejuvenating the appearance of your teak furniture.

For those who prefer homemade solutions, a gentle mixture of 2 tsp dish soap in a gallon of warm water can effectively clean our CoastalVogue DriftWood and Coquina Gray finishes. Avoid using teak oil on these finishes.

Dealing with Bathroom Mold and Mildew:

Rest assured, teak shower benches, shelves, and bathroom furniture do not promote mold growth. However, mold is a common bacteria found in moist environments like showers and bathrooms. Our teak products, much like bathroom tiles and grout, can provide a surface where mold may attach and grow. To prevent mold growth, regular cleaning of the teak shower furniture is essential, and our cleaners and teak oil can help in this regard. Should you encounter mold stains, our enzyme-based teak mold stain remover offers an eco-safe solution to efficiently clean your wood products.

At DecoTeak, we believe in providing you with both exceptional products and caring support, ensuring your teak furniture retains its beauty and durability for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my teak shower bench?

Rinse it with clean water after each use to remove soap and shampoo, then clean it with a pH-neutral cleaner once a week, or at least once a month. Remember to clean the underside of the seat too.

When should I use teak oil?

Use teak oil when the factory finish starts to fade on Woodland Brown or Natural EarthyTeak pieces. Do not use teak oil on CoastalVogue Driftwood or Coquina Gray finishes.

How do I clean CoastalVogue Driftwood or Coquina Gray finishes?

Use a mild mixture of 2 teaspoons of dish soap in a gallon of warm water, and skip the teak oil.

How do I remove mold stains from teak?

Use an enzyme-based teak mold stain remover, such as Loveable mold stain remover, which cleans the stain without harsh chemicals.

The Complete Wood & Teak Care Guide

What to use, in what order, and how often — so your teak keeps its golden glow for years.

Your teak shower bench, cutting board, or outdoor furniture ships with a protective factory finish. Like any natural hardwood, that finish needs a little ongoing care to stay water-resistant and keep its rich color. The good news: it only takes a few minutes, and there are just a handful of products doing the heavy lifting. Here’s exactly how they work together.

Your Care Lineup

1. Loveable® Teak & Bamboo Furniture Cleaner (32 oz)

Your everyday cleaner. pH-neutral, EPA Safer Choice, lemongrass scent. Lifts soap scum without stripping the finish.

2. Loveable® Teak & Wood Protective Oil (24 oz)

Feeds and moisturizes the wood, restoring the deep golden-honey color once the finish starts looking dry or dull.

$24.98

3. Loveable® Teak Protexion™ Sealer (16 oz)

Applied after oiling. Forms a barrier against moisture, mold and mildew. Dries in about an hour.

Routine 1: Everyday Care for Shower Benches & Indoor Teak

For pieces in your EarthyTeak® or Woodland Brown factory finish.

1	Rinse with clean water after every use. Soap and shampoo residue left sitting on teak will slowly break down the finish.
2	Wash weekly to monthly with Teak & Bamboo Furniture Cleaner. Don’t forget the underside of the seat, where residue collects.
3	Apply Teak Protective Oil once the finish looks dry, pale or dull. This re-moisturizes the wood and revives its color.
4	Optional — seal it in with Teak Protexion. Applied right after the oil has soaked in, for extra moisture and mildew resistance.

Routine 2: Restoring Weathered Outdoor Teak

For decks, patio furniture, docks, or any teak that has grayed, dulled, or picked up tannin/rust stains from the elements.

1	Deep-clean with the 2-in-1 Cleaner & Brightener Gel. Strips old finish, weathering, and stains without sanding. Let the wood dry fully.
2	Nourish with Teak Protective Oil. Restores the golden tone and re-conditions the grain.
3	Protect with Teak Protexion Sealer. Locks in the oil and shields against rain and humidity.
4	Maintain with light cleanings using the Teak & Bamboo Cleaner between deep restorations.

Frequency at a Glance

Task	How Often	Product
Rinse	After every use	Clean water
Light wash	Weekly to monthly	Teak & Bamboo Furniture Cleaner
Oil / feed the wood	As a general guide: every 4–8 weeks outdoors, every 2–3 months indoors — or any time the finish looks dry	Teak Protective Oil
Reseal	Each time you oil, or every 2–3 months for pieces exposed to heavy moisture	Teak Protexion Sealer
Deep restore	Seasonally, or whenever wood has visibly grayed	2-in-1 Cleaner & Brightener Gel
Mold/mildew spotting	As soon as it appears	Mold Stain Remover
Plastic & shower accessories	Weekly	Plastic & Shower Furniture Cleaner

Two Things Worth Knowing

CoastalVogue® Driftwood & Coquina Gray finishes are different. Skip the teak oil — it will alter their intended weathered-gray look. Instead, clean with a gentle mix of 2 tsp dish soap per gallon of warm water.

Teak itself doesn’t cause mold — but like tile or grout, it can host mold that’s already growing in a damp bathroom. Regular cleaning with the Teak & Bamboo Cleaner and Teak Oil is the best prevention; the Mold Stain Remover handles any spots that do appear.
