Caring for Your Teak

Daily Cleaning

Wash with warm water and a neutral soap right after use. Dry with a soft towel — don't let water sit on the surface.

💡 Avoid soaking the wood for more than 30 seconds.

Regular Conditioning

Apply a thin coat of food-grade mineral oil to the entire surface. Let it absorb for 30 minutes, then wipe away any excess.

💡 Once a month for the first year, then every 2–3 months.

Natural Deodorizing

Gently scrub the surface with coarse salt and lemon juice, let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse clean. This restores the wood's natural scent.

💡 Use whenever the wood starts to hold onto food odors.

Removing Light Scratches

Sand gently with fine-grit sandpaper, following the direction of the grain, then re-oil the surface. Light scratches will disappear completely.

💡 Always sand with the grain, never against it.
