Restore mid-century teak furniture from makers such as Nathan and Fler: identify the construction, test the finish, clean, repair, and refinish with care.
Clean teak gently with mild soap first. Learn when oxygen bleach, oxalic acid, or light sanding helps, and what to avoid, such as pressure washers.
Repair cracks in teak furniture step by step: leave harmless outdoor checks alone, glue splits with the right adhesive, fill small gaps, and re-seal to match.
Outdoor teak usually needs a sealer, which lasts longer than oil. Indoors, oil is the usual choice. Compare upkeep, protection, and switching between them.
