2. Teak Brightener – Reverses the effects of weathering by lightening and enhancing the colour of the wood. Also prepares the wood for a more uniform absorption of oil.

Preparation
Remove any loose dirt and mud with a brush first.
Cleaning Marine Teak
The first step is to clean the wood to remove any dirt, grime, mould and mildew from the surface. As you clean the wood you’ll also notice the original honey colour of the wood starting to be restored.
Take the Teak Cleaner and shake the bottle well before use.
Mix the cleaner into a bucket of warm water at a ratio of 1:5 (1 part Teak Cleaner to 5 parts warm water). Dip a Scrubbing Brush into the mixture and scrub the surface to loosen and dirt and grime. Wipe the wood down using a clean, lint-free cloth.
A green scouring pad can be used with the cleaning solution to get into hard to reach areas. Fine sandpaper (P320) can be used to rub the surface down (after it has been cleaned and dried) if the furniture feels rough. This will create a lovely smooth surface and help with oil absorption later on.
Rinse the wood with clean water to remove any excess Teak Cleaner. Allow to dry.
Brightening Marine Teak
Brightening the wood will further enhance the natural colour and kill off any remaining mould spores that survived cleaning!
Take the Teak Brightener and shake the bottle well before use. Put on the protective gloves.
Mix the Teak Brightener into a bucket of water at a ratio of 1:1. Apply to a clean, lint-free cloth and rub into the wood following the direction of the grain. Leave for a few minutes and then rinse down with clean water.
As you apply the product you will notice more of the original colour reappearing in the wood.
Oiling Teak Marine
Take the Teak Oil and shake the bottle well before use. Ensure the wood is clean and dry.
Apply the Teak Oil liberally to a lint-free cloth and rub into the wood following the direction of the grain. Leave for a few minutes and then wipe off any excess. Leave the Oil to thoroughly soak in and dry for between 4-6 hours.
For best results and to help make future maintenance easier, you should apply three coats of oil to the wood. Ensure the last has thoroughly dried before applying the next coat.
Maintenance
You should clean and re-oil marine teak once a year. You shouldn’t need to use the Brightener every time but you can choose to do so if you think the wood has weathered badly, or if you don’t get round to applying the oil every year.
Marine Teak Restoration Kit is specifically designed for all types of marine teak but can also be used on all other types of outdoor wood.
