It can be easily cleaned using a soft brush and some soap and water. Some prefer this look for exterior applications. If you want to maintain teaks rich luster, clean often with a damp cloth and give it an application of a high quality teak oil annually, or more often in harsher environments. Avoid chemical cleaners. To restore silvered teak to a rich luster, clean with a good teak cleaner and apply one to two liberal applications of a high quality teak oil.
