Cleaning some free garden furniture
« on: September 08, 2014, 05:02:15 pm »
Customer gave me a set of wooden table and chairs ... teak apparently but pretty sure its not the real thing ..

He power washed them about 6 months ago and put them to 1 side without re oiling them.

Photos attached show the small chair after about 4 coats of cheapo B and Q teak oil ... think its slowly getting there ... second photo shows how the set currently looks.

Had a look on you tube and came across video on netrol which seems to clean them up ok then he went on to treat them with textrol which tbh IMHO looks poor (not that im an expert of course) ... anything else you can recommend ?

Strip then off and start again. The wood is not clean enough IMO

I"d start again, strip the oiling off you have done and do the same to the rest of the chairs oiled or not. Then Brighten, allow to dry, hand sand then re-oil with a decent oil not the B&Q rubbish.

Prep-Deck to strip & Netrol to Brighten the wood afterwards. You HAVE to brighten after stripping esp hardwoods.

Also they might not be Teak but Iroko another hardwood but darker, until there cleaned properly it can be hard to tell.
