Teak Deck Cleaning & Protection
In this article we explain teak deck maintenance, professional cleaning methods, solving grey discolouration and correct product selection for long-lasting protection.
1. Why Is Teak Deck Care Important?
Teak has been a preferred natural tropical hardwood in the marine industry for centuries. Its high oil content gives it outstanding resistance to water penetration and rot. Without maintenance, teak decking turns grey through UV exposure (a process called solarisation), the surface roughens and fibres separate. Professional cleaning can restore teak to its natural golden colour in most cases.
