The uniqueness and innate beauty of Outdoor Teak furniture has fueled its increase in popularity worldwide. Besides the Teak furnitures artistic glamor, there are various other reasons why woodworkers and people opt for teak wood. Teak is a hardwood tree species mostly found in tropical rain forests of India, Indonesia and Malaysia. In order to survive in a rain forest it contains natural oil which makes it resistant to water, insects and rot. The only minor problem with outdoor teak furniture is that it has a rich, honey hue, when it is new but with the passage of time the wood comes into contact with other elements and it begins getting a glaze of ash gray and if this glaze of ash gray color is not treated it becomes impossible to revive the original yellowish brown color of the Teak Patio set. Keep in mind that the change of the color does not decrease the resilience of the furniture.

The Outdoor Teak Furniture market may provide you with quality, but maintaining that quality lies in your hands. Teak does not demand too much care or attention but woodwork specialists are of the view that the use of a Teak protector protects the yellowish brown color of the outdoor teak furniture. The Teak protector needs to be applied separately for each season. Application of Teak oil is another good option for protection. But, it may involve higher costs. Unlike, the Teak protector, Teak Oil has to applied on the furniture after every three months. While some people are against the idea of applying Teak Oil as its excessive use can change the furnitures color from yellowish brown to mild brown. For some users of Teak, changing colors do not matter because they rate durability and strength of the furniture the highest. In any case, cleaning the outdoor teak furniture is a must for every user. If a person owns a Teak Patio Set, it would be best if the person first cleans the set with a dry cloth and then apply a solution made of bleach and a mild detergent in a ratio of 20:80 respectively. The solution should be applied using a soft fiber brush and should be washed thoroughly so that the whole of the mixture is washed away.

Another option is the Teak Cleaner which is usually applied on the ash gray colored Teak furniture to bring back the original yellowish brown color of the Teak furniture; no matter how old the furniture is. The teak Cleaner is ideal for outdoor furniture that has gone through harsh weather conditions and has experienced a change in color. No extra scrubbing is required while using this cleaner. Special care needs to be maintained that the outdoor Teak furniture is not subjected to application of paint or any type of stain as it destroys the natural beauty of the wood and besides, the natural oil present in the Teak will not completely accept the paint. In order to ensure maximum protection it is best not to keep the outdoor Teak Furniture in a place in which it might get submerged due to heavy rains; despite being resistant to swelling and shrinking. If proper care is taken, your outdoor Teak furniture will serve for decades.
