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.
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.

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.
