Real vs. Synthetic Teak: Difference in Maintenance
Real teak wood turns grey through UV exposure and loses its warm brown tone. Synthetic teak discolours through algae and dirt. Both surfaces need different care products — using the wrong product can damage the material.
Step-by-Step Cleaning
Synthetic teak: Spray on Synthetic Teak Cleaner → work in with a soft brush → rinse thoroughly with water.
Real teak: Dampen the deck → apply Natural Teak Restorer → work in along the grain → allow to dry → finish with oil.
