How to Restore Outdoor Teak Wooden Furniture

Teak is a tight, grained hardwood with a high oil and rubber content. These properties make teak an ideal material for outdoor wooden furniture. Teak is naturally rot resistant; however, it must be maintained and restored to new condition over time since weathering will turn the wood gray. Washing, light sanding and applying teak oil will restore the natural beauty of your teak furniture.
