I have been asked to refurbish my neighbors teak patio set (1 octogonal table and 4 chairs w/slats). I have refinished loads of wood furniture before but never teak. I know how to clean and seal it but just want some kind of a ball park figure on how much I should charge.
Just power wash it with deck cleaner and wipe it down with teak oil. Do it yourself $75.00 Contractor $300

I have exspensive teak wood patio furniture, now a couple of years old, but they need help. They are seasoned and need to be brought back to life. Is there a simple way to clean & finish them? Is there an oil to rub on them?
The Premium Teak Wood Oil gives your teak wood long lasting protection against the elements. The ultraviolet absorbers in the oil helps maintain the warm natural coloring. This particular brand is rated #1 in independent testing, and lasts 4-6 times longer than other standard teak oils.

Our teak furniture is looking dirty or mildewy. I am wondering how to make it look clean or more fresh looking. It is only a year old.
My recommended way to clean teak patio furniture is to mix in a bucket a 3 parts mild laundry detergent with one part bleach mixture with water.
Now wash the furniture using a soft bristle brush. Do not use a hard bristle brush as it may damage the furniture. After you have given the furniture a good scrub with the cleaning mix rinse the entire piece of furniture to make sure all dirt is removed.
also..there are water spots on it...should i sand those off too? I am using vinyl and latex gloves but the thumb keeps ripping. Any suggestions on that as well? thanks
Davis S and Stryker are both correct. The BEST solution is to power wash the ENTIRE deck, then use the brush where the worst spots don't come clean from the pressure wash. And don't use a crappy electric pressure washer. It needs to be at least 2700psi.
As for the gloves, try neoprene chemical resistant gloves. Very durable, and fairly inexpensive.
Good Luck!

Teak Patio Furniture Use And Care
When the weather gets colder, many homeowners face a dilemma: to keep their patio furniture outside, with proper weatherproofing, or take it inside and try to accommodate in a basement or garage. But with teak patio furniture, you will no longer want to stash the patio set in the basement. Instead, you will want to flaunt it all year long. According to historians, woven wicker furniture was first used in ancient Egypt. But since that time teak has become a favorite of garden furniture manufacturers only in the beginning of the 20th century, when white garden furniture has been labeled as boring and the prominent garden decorator Gertrude Jekyll claimed that gray- or green-toned garden furniture is more attractive. Since teak weathers to a beautiful silvery gray, it has soon become a popular wood of choice for many garden and patio furniture manufacturers. Teak is one of the most valuable woods today. Teak wood grows in severe climatic conditions in Burma and Indonesia. Teak is a very hard wood resistant to wind, pests, sun, and humidity. In addition, teak does not splinter. For centuries, teak was used in marine building, which means that teak patio furniture can be easily left outside even in harsh climate conditions. One of the most remarkable features of teak wood is its ability to change color with age. When new, its color varies from light to dark brown and over years becomes a light silver gray. The first �gray hair� in teak furniture will be noticeable after three to four months of use, depending on how contrasting the climate conditions are in your area. For example, if you have cold nights and hot sunny days, teak patio furniture will turn to gray faster. Natural teak will become gray in about a year. Even though teak wood does not splinter, it may develop small cracks with time. Teak wood contains a high amount of natural wood oils, so it will not develop deep structural cracks. There is no need to treat teak wood with any kind of wood sprays or oils to protect it; however, the teak wood oil does create a pretty surface sheen. You may apply oil when you plan to leave the teak furniture outside for a long period of time, or when the wood starts to show gray. Since in most cases teak wood is left untreated when used for teak patio furniture, you should avoid spilling food or drinks on the wood surface. If you do happen to �leave your mark�, don’t use any harsh detergents to remove it. Any marks will eventually fade with time. When the stain is noticeable, you may scrub the area with mild sandpaper. Ultra-violet rays also damage the sheen of the teak furniture, and an annual treatment with properly labeled teak wood oil is recommended. Make sure that your teak wood furniture is clean and dry before treating, because you don’t want to trap any water under the coat of oil. Dog breeders could be found anywhere. However, buying the best-looking puppy in the pet store does not necessarily guarantee that you bought a pet with a top breed. What are the different types of breeders? Which of them provide the best dog breeds? 1) Look for reputable breeders. Well known breeders know specific details about their specialized breed.

Teak Patio Furniture – Golden Or Aged It Is Your Choice
So you decided to create a little piece of heaven in your backyard and purchased some gorgeous teak patio furniture to fill it. A couple of Adirondack chairs and a table or two and you are set to enjoy the simple pleasures of summer.
But before you leave your new furniture to the elements you need to decide if you want to maintain its golden brown color or let it age to a striking silvery gray patina. You see teak is probably the strongest wood used in outdoor furniture today. Grown in the jungles of Indonesia it is full of natural oils that lend it water and rot resistance. Able to endure fifty years or more in any weather it is often used in ship and bridge building. When it arrives at your house in the shape of a chair or table it will be a shade of warm golden gray that will fade eventually.
