Q. Why do we need the Teak Shield? A. Teak Shield is ideal for protecting teak furniture from accidental spills during dinners and parties. The shield prevents most hard stains by creating a barrier on the teak’s surface, helping keep your furniture looking new throughout the year. Q. How often do we need to apply teak protector? A. Generally, teak protector lasts an entire season, depending on factors like sun exposure, humidity, rain, and the teak's age. This water-based, non-greasy protector penetrates into the teak quickly, drying within an hour. Once dry, it won't stain clothes or cushions, so furniture is ready to use a few hours after application. Q. What are the effects of teak protector on the environment, flora, and fauna? A. The protector may affect garden grass and plants. If applying it yourself, we recommend placing a disposable sheet under the furniture to protect your garden and ensure safe disposal as with any other hazardous material. Q. Does the color of furniture change after applying teak protector? A. No, the teak protector is neither a sealer nor oil-based, so it won’t darken the teak. Unlike teak oils and sealers, which can create darker brown or reddish-orange tints, our protector enhances the natural golden/honey color, keeping it beautiful and vibrant throughout the year. Q. How do we apply teak protector, and how much is recommended? A. Before application, ensure the furniture is dust-free and use a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid sponges or sprays, as they can overapply the protector, leading to potential cracking or blistering of the wood. Apply a small amount evenly over the furniture for optimal results.
