Easy Maintenance Tips for Your Vintage Teak Furniture

Vintage teak furniture isn’t just beautiful and durable—it just needs a little love. On average, a quick maintenance session once a year is enough to keep your pieces looking their best for decades. Follow these simple tips to keep your furniture in top shape.

Dust and Clean Regularly

  • Use a soft cloth or feather duster to remove dust.

  • If needed, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and always dry thoroughly afterward.

  • Avoid harsh cleaning products that can damage the wood.

Protect Against Moisture and Heat

  • Use coasters for cups and glasses.

  • Keep furniture away from radiators and avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and drying out.

Oil Periodically

  • Treat your furniture at least once a year with teak oil. This nourishes the wood and protects it from drying out.

  • Minor scratches become less noticeable after oiling.

  • Apply a thin layer, following the wood grain, and wipe off any excess with a dry cloth.

Check Regularly

  • Inspect hinges, drawers, and legs. Tighten any loose screws or fittings immediately to prevent wear and tear.

With regular care, your vintage teak furniture will stay not only beautiful but also durable and full of character. Simple routines like dusting, protecting from moisture, and periodic oiling will ensure your pieces last for years to come.
