Teak Cleaner & Brightener, Restore Weathered Wood

Great product and the videos were very helpful. ONE NOTE: the videos show people squeezing the bottle to squirt it on the furniture. The bottles we received just have a cap and then an opening the size of a quarter. No way to squirt it. I took a sprayer off a bottle of window cleaner I had and thankfully it screwed on the bottle of teak cleaner perfectly. But it would have set me back while figuring out how the apply this with such a big mouth opening on the bottle. Aside from that consideration I will repurchase when I need more. It works well!

This worked amazing! My set is 8 years old, oiled every year (sometimes twice) but I never realized I should be CLEANING the wood! I used the 2-in-one twice with a scrubber. It took some elbow grease for sure but the effects for immediate. I let them dry overnight and then used the oil to protect. They turned out really nice. I will continue to buy. I took before and after pictures. I wish I would have started using the cleaner every spring years ago! I do out them away for winter as we are in PA.

I put off using this stuff for over a year because I thought it would be tedious, time-consuming and messy. Boy was I wrong I finally pulled it out today and it works in minutes. It’s easy to use and the results for spectacular. Don’t hesitate. Don’t procrastinate just do it. You won’t regret it. Check out my videos.

I work at a park with several teak benches and some were very much in need of a good sprucing up. I had tried a dish soap and vinegar solution, but it wasn't getting the job done. This product arrived quickly and did a good job of cleaning the benches. There was still a LOT of scrubbing involved though. This bottle was enough to clean two 5-foot benches. I've ordered a gallon each of the separate products (rather than this 2-in-1 combo) to see how it works in comparison. On a side note, beware that this product is caustic and can irritate your skin. I used household gloves so my hands are fine. But at one point I was tired of stooping to scrub the bench seats so I knelt on the grass. After a few minutes I realized that the product had dripped and been rinsed onto the grass where I was kneeling and my knees started stinging. It didn't last very long and I was fine by the end of the day.

I used this on outdoor teak chairs that had years of gray oxidation embedded in the grain. I initially tried sanding alone, and while it lightened the surface, the gray streaking in the pores and cracks remained. This product removed oxidation that sanding simply could not reach. My process was: rinse the wood, scrub lightly with the grain, rinse again, apply the cleaner/brightener, let it dwell for a few minutes, scrub, then rinse thoroughly. The difference was immediate and dramatic. The cleaned pieces were uniform in color and ready to oil, while the sanded-only pieces still looked streaky by comparison. A few tips for best results: • Let the product sit 2–4 minutes before scrubbing, do not let it dry • Rinse very thoroughly, especially joints and slat gaps • Allow at least 24 hours of drying before oiling After oiling, the cleaned teak absorbed evenly and looked like new. This saved a significant amount of sanding time and produced a much better finish. Highly recommended for teak furniture that is weathered or uneven. Sanding alone is not enough.

This product works as advertized. It does an excellent job of removing grit and grime with a little scrubbing and it brightens the wood back to bare wood basis. It does not smooth or mask rough areas, which should be sanded back to bare, smooth wood before applying the sealant coat but it works extremely well in cleaning and brightening the teak.

This stuff works. Was worth the cost given what it was able to do. I had recently refinished a teak table but was not satisfied with the reds coming through with the oil I used (table looked too orange). Considering I used multiple coats of the oil after sanding, I was really concerned it was not going to be easy to get back to a good re-starting point. This product worked quickly and I was able to get the results I wanted (key was to let it soak, brush, rinse, re apply, brush, rinse, repeat. Used the full bottle but it worked. This is now my go-to for teak cleaning.

The teak deck was not very dirty. This cleaned it a little better. Did not seem to brighten at all. And now the wood is "fuzzy".

No funciona, no hace ninguna diferencia !!

Great product, thank you

Did a good cleaning job

I loved how it worked, be sure to use a proper glove 🧤 it’s very harsh on skin… wash all surface areas including the grounds! Used this on my CANVAS teak table restored the life back into it! Be sure to use step 3 to finished the entire project nicely as this step 1/2 tends to bleach wood (see last photo). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Will update if it don’t cure properly!

I used it on my indoor teak kitchen table and the chairs. The solution worked pretty good and the dirt case off after just a few rubs with a scab sponge. make sure you can rinse the furniture well after cleaning it with the solution. Prepares well for applying oils. (I used Danish oil)
