Teak cleaning is normally a problem that is often solved by drastic methods such as sanding or the use of powder or extremely caustic detergents which will eventually severely damage the surface.

The post TEAK WONDER® CLEANER appeared first on Alpha Mare.

]]> TEAK WONDER® CLEANER is a powerful cleanser that thoroughly cleans the teak easily and with very little effort, without the need for sanding. The product is neither caustic nor aggressive, and will not damage rubber seals, paint or hardware. The grey oxidisation and dirt are removed in a few minutes. The cleaning process is carried out by wetting the surface to be cleaned thoroughly with fresh water, then apply the cleaner evenly and brush the deck with a soft bristle brush, across the grain (do not apply too much pressure, this avoids damaging the teak fibres). Rinse the soapy solution off with plenty of fresh water and do not allow the wood to dry prior to starting the brightening process. On heavily soiled surfaces, which have significant oxidisation or have not been cleaned for a long time, a second cleaning may be necessary before starting the brightening process. Carefully wash away any product left on non teak surfaces.

The coverage is approximately 6-8 m²/ltr (depending on the condition of the wood).

TEAK WONDER® BRIGHTENER is a lightening process used to eliminate shading from the teak which may still persist even after the application of the TEAK WONDER® CLEANER.

]]> The application of TEAK WONDER® BRIGHTENER is not always necessary, but when used on aged surfaces it has an effect that seems miraculous: the teak immediately regains its natural colour (like newly sanded but without removing precious layers of grain). The brightening process should be carried out on a wet surface, ideally straight after cleaning. Apply TEAK WONDER® BRIGHTENER sparingly and evenly to avoid a patchy result then wash the deck. The effect of the TEAK WONDER® BRIGHTENER, is immediate and the result instant. As with the cleaner, rinse away the solution with plenty of fresh water. The product is neither caustic nor aggressive, and will not damage rubber seals, paint or hardware. Once dry, the surface is ready for application of protective TEAK WONDER® DRESSING & SEALER. Carefully wash away any product left on non teak surfaces.

The coverage is approximately 8-10 m²/ltr (depending on the condition of the wood).

New teak is subject to rapid aging if not cleaned daily with fresh water or a suitable protective product applied.

]]> Most protective treatments for teak on the market are oil-based stains that have several drawbacks: they falsely darken the teak, absorb dust and dirt; in warm conditions the oil is brought to the surface and can make the deck slippery and greasy; it can also stain clothes. TEAK WONDER® DRESSING & SEALER is a safe and durable, non-oil based product which provides a pleasant golden colour without darkening the teak or producing that fake coloured look. The special components in TEAK WONDER® DRESSING & SEALER seal the wood, blocking the penetration of dust and dirt whilst protecting the natural teak oils against ultraviolet rays, slowing the oxidation and discoloration process. The sealing treatment helps inhibit the penetration into the wood of liquids such as fuel, oil, fish blood, paints, etc. As long as these are not allowed to dry, they will be much easier to remove. TEAK WONDER® DRESSING & SEALER does not make the teak glossy or slippery, does not falsely darken the teak and does not build up an accumulation on the surface. The product is quick drying and does not smell. It is recommended that two coats are applied (with heavy brush strokes) on new teak. If teak is old or dirty, then the wood should be previously treated with TEAK WONDER® CLEANER and TEAK WONDER® BRIGHTENER, allowing the wood to dry completely before the sealing process. Another coat of sealer can be applied after 8-12 weeks without repeating the cleaning process. The product must be mixed thoroughly before use. Immediately wipe away any drips or marks on non teak surfaces.
