Teak is a beautiful and durable wood that is often used for outdoor furniture. However, over time, teak can become weathered and damaged. If you have a teak chair that is looking a little worse for wear, don't despair! With a little bit of effort, you can restore it to its former glory.
Here are the steps on how we restore a teak chair:
- Clean the chair thoroughly. Use a mild soap and water solution to remove any dirt or grime. You also use a teak cleaner specifically designed for this purpose.
- Repair any damage. If the chair has any cracks or chips, you will need to repair them before you can move on to the next step. We use a teak wood filler or wood epoxy to repair the damage.
- Sand the chair. We use a fine-grit sandpaper to sand the chair. This will help to remove any rough spots and prepare the wood for the next step.
- Apply a teak oil or sealer. This will help to protect the wood and keep it looking its best. You can apply the oil or sealer with a brush or cloth.
- Allow the chair to dry completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
- Enjoy your restored teak chair!
