Proper Maintenance of Teak Deep Seating
An easily attainable home luxury, teak deep seating brightens up an outdoor setup and conveys a look of sophistication and elegance. But it’s not just an attractive building material; teak is one of the most naturally durable hardwoods available that needs very little yearly maintenance.
One of the unique characteristics that sets apart teak deep seating from other wood furniture are the cushions that match with the low wooden seats. These cushions are made from a durable material that’s both waterproof and rip-proof, not to mention stain-resistant. Indigenous to the monsoon forests of Southeast Asia, teak is strong enough to survive in particularly warm and humid climates.
For instance, outdoor furniture can be oiled up to a few times a year to help bolster the natural oils. Indoor teak deep seating requires less oil because the wood will retain more of its natural oils when not exposed to the elements. Additionally, leaving teak untreated will cause the wood to fade into a natural patina gray, though this in itself is not harmful to furniture, so it’s really just a matter of personal preference. Two coats of sealant are usually adequate for most teak deep seating, but be sure to let each coat dry before applying another. For mild stains, a soap and water mixture should work, and for harder stains and mildew buildup, try water and bleach. Teak deep seating can be tricky to navigate if not approached with the proper know-how.
