AquaTeak Products Are Enhanced With Our Proprietary Finish
When it comes to caring for your teak shower bench, it’s important to understand that all of our AquaTeak products are enhanced with a proprietary finish, which adds a rich, protective coating. This finish does not require any special maintenance, other than an occasional cleaning. We recommend using a soft bristle brush and mild detergent. However, it’s also important to note that when exposed to water and sunlight, teak wood will slowly fade to a natural silver-gray color. Below, you will find some tips to follow if you’d like to maintain or restore your bench’s color.
Do Nothing and Enjoy a Natural Patina
We’d like to note that a change in your bench’s color does not indicate a change in durability. Teak wood is waterproof and weather resistant, but may begin to darken to a rich mocha color as time goes on. If you don’t mind the color change, you have the option to do nothing as far as color restoration goes, allowing you to enjoy faded teak wood in its natural state.
Apply Teak Oil to Maintain Color
If you do wish to maintain your teak shower bench’s color, teak oil can help. AquaTeak offers premium teak oil that is ultra-refined and provides a rich glow, absorbing deeply into the teak wood. It can be easily applied and will restore the color in minutes!
Develop a Care Routine
Developing a consistent care routine can help preserve your teak bench’s beautiful color. This could involve simply rinsing away soap, residue, and body oils after every use, or washing with soap and water every so often to remove any chlorine or soaps that may be penetrating the wood. The frequency of your routine will likely depend on the desired outcome.
