STAR BRITE One Step Teak Cleaner & Brightener - 1 GAL (094900)

I tumbled to this stuff after decades of caring for teak furniture. It was more effective than I expected, and is now a standard process. Much easier than sanding to prep for teak oil application.

Spray and let it sit for a minute or two. Then, scrub off with a bristle brush and hose off the dirt. Works extremely well.

Wow! This stuff is great. The chair on the right is the "before" I haven't started, the one of the left was after one scrub. I put a scrub brush on the end of my drill to help speed things up, 100% need to use googles and a mask if doing this. Once they are finished, I'll do a light power wash on them to get off any residue I may have missed, then I plan on sealing them.

Awesome usage for gray teak

Easy to use. Great product.

Little did I think it would be this easy! I simply took a grit-backed sponge, loaded it with the liquid, and spread it over the gray teak. Then adding a little water, I lightly scrubbed as the gray was lifted out of the wood (or so it seemed). A little more water to get the "scum" of gray washed away, then let it dry into a light blond color and the wood is ready for the teak stain. What a pleasure.One caveat: I had a cut on my finger, which I didn't notice until I started scrubbing....the liquid is an acid, so the cut STUNG! A little water relieved the pain, and I used my other hand exclusively....or you could use waterproof gloves.You'll be impressed with the results.

The product stained the concrete pavers where I cleaned them. See pic with these white stains .What product will you recommend to remove these white stains?

This works, but really eats into the wood. I stopped using it after one application on a small table. I found that I had better results using a scrub brush and plain water, followed by sandpaper. I had to use sandpaper on the one thing I'd used the teak cleaner on, as it had raised the grain and eaten into the wood. All in all, I cleaned 2 chairs, 3 benches with backs, a backless bench and one cocktail table (all teak) all without this product, and had better results!
