Choose this variant if you want to give the wood a blonde finish and are looking for a different look than honey brown or grey. The treatment helps preserve the chosen colour for longer. With proper preparation and two thin coats, you can achieve a well-maintained result step by step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important decision to make is before you treat the entire piece of furniture: does this blonde shade suit your wood and the rest of your garden set?

It is a deliberate colour choice for those looking for a light wood appearance. With a set featuring neutral upholstery, it can create a beautiful overall look. When choosing, do not only look at a photo of the bottle, but also at the wood of your own table, chairs or sofa and the colours of the matching cushions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA product photo or another treated piece of furniture can help you orient yourself. The test area on your furniture will show whether the result matches your expectations. For example, choose the back of a chair leg or another small, inconspicuous part. Assess the result after it has dried, before you decide to treat the rest. If there are several pieces of furniture in the same set, it is also wise to check whether the wood and the previous finish match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you mainly want to emphasise the warm brown wood colour? Then compare it with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/teak-protector\"\u003eTeak Protector Honey Brown\u003c\/a\u003e. Are you looking for a grey colour treatment?

Is your furniture new, greyed, or previously treated with oil? Is there an unknown finish on it? This initial situation determines the preparation. Do not apply a Colour Protector directly over a layer of oil. Instead, first clean oiled or greyed teak with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/teak-cleaner\"\u003eGolden Care Teak Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e according to the accompanying instructions. If there is an unknown paint or finish layer, ask for suitable furniture advice first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor new teak and hardwood, Golden Care recommends cleaning with Cleaner as preparation, or letting the wood weather outside first. Also check the furniture manufacturer's instructions. A new piece of furniture therefore does not need to receive a colour treatment immediately without assessment. Use the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/teak-tuinmeubelen-onderhouden\"\u003eteak maintenance guide\u003c\/a\u003e to view the different maintenance steps side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter cleaning, the wood must be completely dry and dust-free. If the surface feels rough, Golden Care recommends lightly sanding before applying the Protector. Then remove the sanding dust. Take time for this preparation: a colour test on clean and dry wood will give you a more useful idea than a test on a dirty or still damp area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to apply Blonde Teak Protector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare the necessary items before you start: the Protector, a clean lint-free cloth, and the materials you need for preparation.
