This guide sets out the full sequence in order: a thorough clean with soapy water and a soft brush along the grain, an oxalic acid based brightener applied evenly to avoid tide marks, a proper rinse, a full drying period of one to two days, and light sanding only where patches remain. We then explain the three finishing choices of leaving the timber bare, oiling it for a season or sealing it for longer colour retention, and how indoor teak needs a different approach entirely. There is also clear advice on what to avoid, including pressure washers, household bleach, wire brushes and varnish, plus simple seasonal habits that keep restored teak looking honey toned for longer."}
