| Natural teak will stain or darken
when exposed to food oils and most liquids. Therefore
we strongly recommend that your teak be protected
from food stuffs when used in dining areas. In non-food
areas and with a little care, Giati teak will maintain
its incredible smoothness, natural beauty, and rich
color for years to come. If you do spill water or
stain your teak, once the wood has dried the mark
can be easily removed. A light rubbing with a very
fine Scotch Brite pad or 40 steel wool will usually
remove dried water spots or light stains. Lightly
dust off the area after rubbing with either item.
Both items are available at most hardware stores.
If you use steel wool, do not use water as it will
react with the steel wool and wood and create dark
stains. Over time, with exposure to ambient light,
expect your teak furniture to slowly take on a beautiful,
golden honeycolored tone. |
