Applying Teak Oil is Not Recommended For Teak Furniture

Teak furniture is low maintenance product. Teak oil or other preservatives for treating your teak furniture is not necessary; it is purely aesthetic, and will not extend the life of your furniture. We do not recommend applying teak oil on your outdoor furniture, as it creates unnecessary maintenance and can enhance mildew growth and irregular coloring.
