🧼 How to Care for your Rootwood Carved Bowl
Teak is one of the most durable, low-maintenance timbers available for outdoor furniture — naturally rich in oils that resist water, insects, and decay. But like any natural material, it benefits from some basic care to keep it looking and performing its best.
Whether you're styling a coastal deck, leafy garden, or sunny courtyard, follow these simple tips to extend the life and beauty of your teak furniture.
🌞 Teak Loves the Outdoors
Our teak products are made from Indonesian plantation-grown, kiln-dried teak, crafted to withstand Australia’s harsh outdoor conditions — from blazing sun to salty air.
✅ Naturally weather-resistant
✅ Won’t warp or crack in extreme heat
✅ Highly durable for patios, decks & pool areas
✅ Low-maintenance, even when left outdoors year-round
⏳ Letting Teak Age Naturally
Left untreated, teak will naturally weather to a beautiful silvery-grey patina over time. This process is cosmetic and doesn't affect strength or durability.
If you love that aged coastal look, you can simply wash your teak furniture occasionally with mild soap and water to remove surface dirt — no oiling required.
🧴 Maintaining Teak’s Golden Colour
Prefer to retain teak’s original warm honey tone? Simply apply a high-quality teak sealer or teak oil every 3–6 months, depending on sun exposure. This helps protect the wood from UV fading and environmental buildup.
Important: Always clean the surface thoroughly and ensure it’s dry before applying oil or sealer.
🧽 General Cleaning Tips for a Rootwood Carved Bowl
Use a soft brush or cloth and mild soapy water
