Restoring Teak Garden Furniture.

[maggie01]

The teak garden furniture has taken on a patina (greyish ) look and I would like it to look for like the golden colour it was when new.

What is the best way to restore it to it's natural glory. Thanks.

Teak oil widely available, will do the trick.

A coat of Teak Oil will help, not sure it will make it look like new though, but it will certainly make it look better and protect it.

I love the patina, learn to enjoy it too I suggest.

Teak oil, as others have said. I've had my teak furniture for six years now. We oil it every Autumn and it is lovely. It does go grey, that is it's natural glory.

Here in the U.S., this product is available and works wonder with teak:

Once it's restored, I use spar varnish to protect it, but teak oil will do the same but not as long lasting in my opinion...
