These are just three of its desirable qualities. However, despite being the best of the best in terms of outdoor furniture, you still need to maintain teak furniture to keep it looking its best as it ages. This is where teak oil comes in. Applying teak oil will help to preserve your furniture and prevent any cracking or damage to the surface. It will also help the furniture to mature colour-wise and should prevent drying and splintering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you aren\u2019t certain when or how to apply teak oil to garden furniture, read on for our expert advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why Is Teak Oil Good for Treating Teak Outdoor Furniture?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/white-wooden-garden-bench-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"treated outdoor teak furniture\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/white-wooden-garden-bench-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/white-wooden-garden-bench-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/white-wooden-garden-bench.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teak oil has endless benefits when it comes to protecting and maintaining teak garden furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Prevents damage \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">one of the main pluses of teak oil is that it can go some way to prevent damage to your furniture. Teak naturally has resistance against mould and mildew, but the oil helps to maintain these qualities. Regular teak oil application helps slow the ageing process of teak and stops the teak from becoming weathered and grey.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Restores colour \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">some people like the ashy, grey colour that teak becomes as it naturally ages. But if you\u2019d prefer to retain some of the teak\u2019s golden hue that it has when it first arrives in your garden, teak oil can help with this. Although the ageing process is natural to teak and is impossible to stop fully, regular and proper teak oil application will help to keep the honey-like colour in place for much longer and bring out the natural beauty of the wood.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are other protectants you can use, such as wax, but teak oil penetrates the surface of the wood in a way that other products can\u2019t, giving deeper protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shop our range of\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/teak-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teak Protection<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0products<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Apply Teak Oil to Garden Furniture<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Teak oil application isn\u2019t complicated, but you should do it thoroughly to ensure the whole piece of furniture receives protection.

Ensure it is covered evenly over all surfaces. Do another layer if needed and keep going until the wood has a matte look about it \u2013 this means it can\u2019t absorb any more<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Leave the oil to soak in for 15 minutes and wipe down with a dry, soft cloth or rag<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Buff the surface with a second clean cloth or rag<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Re-apply when the wood starts to look dull, at least once a year. You should make sure to clean your teak garden furniture before and after storing it, and a couple of times in-between. We\u2019d recommend re-oiling before or after your furniture goes into storage. Be sure to clean up any spills that touch the wood as soon as possible, so they don\u2019t have a chance to stain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-wooden-garden-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to clean garden furniture<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Does teak oil protect from rain?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3206\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pavilion-with-wooden-bench-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"teak bench under a pavilion\" width=\"899\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pavilion-with-wooden-bench-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pavilion-with-wooden-bench-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gardenbenches.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/pavilion-with-wooden-bench.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yes, teak oil protects against rain and protects against staining.
