Wood has an appeal that no other material can match. An outdoor space with wooden furniture or noble wood details is warm. It maintains a subtle line of continuity with nature.

But as important as choosing our wooden furniture well, it is to perform proper maintenance.
In this article, we will delve into the maintenance of teak wood and introduce you to the new professional GOLDEN CARE products, now available in TODOJARDÍN stores.

See below the steps to follow for perfect maintenance and possible treatments to give your furniture a spectacular look and an (almost) eternal life, with very little work.

1. Preparation of wood.

Wood cleaning or light sanding

Step 1. Equip yourself with protective rubber gloves. It is also recommended to cover the piece of soil on which we will work with some plastic or old sheet to protect the pavement from splashes or spills. Before applying any product, carefully read the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

Step 2. Clean the wood with water and neutral soap. If the wood is hard to be cleaned, it can be sanded first with very soft sandpaper.

Rinse with water

Step 3. Rinse the wood with plenty of water and let it dry. Make sure there are no traces of resins, chips or dirt and that the wood is completely dry before moving on to the next step and applying GOLDE2. Treatment with specific GOLDEN CARE products for wood maintenance.

2. Applying the GOLDEN CARE timber care products.

Step 4. Apply the GOLDEN CARE Protector to help your wood maintain its colour and prevent it from drying out, bending or cracking. You should know that two colours are available. INSTANT GREY is a perfect grey colour for the tables of our HERITAGE collection in Carrara colour while VINTAGE is a perfect brown colour for the HERITAGE tables in Papyrus colour.

Thoroughly soak the wood with the protective product

It is essential to shake the pot well before applying so that the colour is homogeneous.
​
This product must be "soaked" by the surface, favouring the wood's flexibility and preserving its structural moisture.

​Structural moisture resides within the wood's cells and must be maintained to prevent the wood from losing its natural flexibility.

​Wait for the manufacturer's recommended time before applying a new layer of protector or before moving on to the next step and using the sealant.
