UNDO YEARS OF SUN DAMAGE AND STAINS IN MINUTES
If youre partial to the gently weathered, driftwood-like, silvery gray color untreated teak turns, read no further. But if youre going to oil, seal, or varnish teak to restore and maintain that golden beauty you originally fell in love with, it needs a thorough cleaning first with a teak cleaner thats safe for use on teak.
The same thing goes if youre tired of looking at tired-looking teak on your boats deck or trim. Especially haggard-looking, dark gray or black, pollution-ravaged, fuel-stained, suntan oil-soaked, fish-blood-and-guts-covered teak thats seen brighter daysliterally. Or moldy, mildewed teak that leaves black spots on bathing suits and towels. It can eventually ruin the teak, if left untreated.
Keeping teak wood clean prevents mold and mildew, enhances its beauty, and helps it last longer. TotalBoat Teak Cleaner restores it to its former, golden-hued glory.
ITS OKAY TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN, IN FACT, ITS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
After applying part A to wet teak, scrub lightly across the grain to remove dirt. Going against the grain is important because Part A actually opens up the grain, and if you scrub in the direction of the grain youll be pushing the dirt in deeper instead of removing it. After rinsing away Part A with fresh water, apply Part B and scrub lightly across the grain again. Use fresh water to wash off Part B and youll be looking at cleaner, brighter teakits that easy.
Before varnishing or sealing, let the teak dry completely for at least 24-48 hours. Cleaning the teak may raise the grain slightly, but a light sanding with take it back down.

Before starting, mask fiberglass, gelcoat, or aluminum surfaces that are near the area to be cleaned. Also, mask or remove any aluminum or painted parts attached to the teak. And be sure to protect yourselfespecially hands and eyesby wearing adequate personal protection.
