One of the most commonly asked questions we hear in customer service is, "How do I clean my teak
mat (or bench)?" And the next one is, "How often should I clean it?"

While teak is naturally resistant to bacteria and mildew, you may still see a build up of soap residue and mineral or other impurities from your water. Therefore Teakworks4u strongly recommends performing routine cleanings when you clean your shower or bathroom. A deep clean is recommended on a yearly basis to keep your piece looking new. It is also recommended to clean the underside of your mat and the surface that your mat is placed on as well. Just lift the mat up and remove any soap scum and debris. Allow to dry. Remember that teak has a slip-resistant surface, but a soapy build-up can compromise this, so it’s important to clean it off regularly. NOTE: Do not use a power washer.

For a quick cleaning, simply apply water with a soft bristle brush and lightly scrub the teak surface.
Then rinse the teak surface with clean water and wipe dry.

For a deep cleaning, you may want to consider Teakworks4u Teak Cleaning Kit, TeakClean. This kit includes everything you'll need, including 10 cleaning tablets, scrubbing brush, gloves and teak oil.

For weathered teak that you would like to restore to its original finish, it can be done with a little work.
You will need to lightly sand the piece using commercial grade sandpaper. An 80 grit sandpaper is recommended to start with and moving up in grit as desired. You will begin to notice the original teak color restored. Then remove any dust and apply teak oil to the surface.
