Caring for your Timber Furniture
Out of the Box:
Step 1. Dust & Check
When you first unpack your new furniture, remove any residual dust from manufacturing by lightly wiping your furniture with a damp cloth before use. Use this time to look over your furniture and appreciate the natural tone variation and richness of the timber you have purchased.
Step 2. Preserve It
If you wish to preserve your Teak furniture’s original natural colours, use high-performance water-based wood coating such as Biocolours Acrylic Topcoat Wood Preserver OR Bio Beeswax wood polish. Wood sealers also aid in reducing and repelling staining and moisture. After purchase and assembly, we recommend that a follow up coat of Biocolours Acrylic Topcoat is applied after the first one or two weeks of outdoor exposure, and only after your furniture has been cleaned and is completely dry.
Biocolours Acrylic Topcoat mixing instructions:
- 1st coat: Mix 1 part Topcoat with 2 parts water
- 2nd coat: Mix 3 parts Topcoat with 1 part water
Bio Beeswax Wood Polish gives the timber a more vibrant ‘wet look’. If you have chosen to use the Beeswax finish simply warm the container in the sun or very briefly in the microwave, mix and rub into the timber using a rag. Buff off for a smooth finish.
