Golden Care describes Teak Cleaner as being suitable for removing dirt and refreshing discoloured wood. This prepares the wood for the next maintenance step. The appropriate follow-up step depends on the look you want and what was previously used on the furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamine the surface before you start. Is it teak or hardwood, what finish is present, and do you want to preserve the existing grey patina look? This last question is particularly important: intensive cleaning or sanding can affect the greyed appearance. If you are unsure about the coating or the furniture, seek advice first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrepare water and a suitable pad\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtect the work area and wear the household gloves and eye protection specified on the label.

Also include the corners and joints you have treated, so that the cleaning step is completed thoroughly. Assess the result after treatment and follow the bottle instructions if repetition is necessary.

This dry surface is part of the preparation for the next treatment. Therefore, do not plan the cleaning as the final step just before you need the furniture again.
