Teak trees are native to South and Southeast Asia, so it is a tropical hardwood with a natural oil content. Those oils make the wood extremely weather resistant, hard wearing, and termite resistant. Teak wood is naturally water proof and durable when it comes to natural disasters. Because of that, teak wood is the most ideal type of wood for patio furnitures. 

Teak wood is durable and strong. It is durable due to natural weather causes. It does not change its color and look for a long time, so, it does not require constant cleaning. To clean it, you should brush it delicately with soap and water, or a special teak wood cleaning product, and them hose it. 

Teak is naturally water resistant and highly durable in exterior uses, so generally we recommend to use oil stain. However, water base can be used as well with superior UV protection. You can brush the stain and wipe off excess.

Furniture can be left uncovered all 12 months of the year no matter where you live. If you choose to cover your teak furniture, use a material that always lets the wood breath. Teak wood furniture are the best for the outside, because they are very strong and durable. Extreme rain or sun will not damage the furniture.
