Teak Oil Application on Furniture Material Required

• Teak oil
• Clean rag for oiling
• Dusting cloth

Procedure Step 1 Remember that this oil is toxic hence, you need an open area while applying this oil on furniture. So, if you are working on indoor furniture, take it outdoor or work in a well ventilated area. Step 2 Now, take a dusting cloth and make it damp. Dust the furniture with it to remove the dust collected over it. Only if it is extremely dirty opt for an oil soap. Now, before you follow the next step, wait till it dries completely. Step 3 Now, take a few drops of the oil on the oiling cloth and start applying it on the furniture. Rub well, so that the oil is well absorbed. If you are working on large items then take the oil in a container and dip the cloth in it each time. Remember, do not use excess of oil that will stay on the teak wood. Once you finish application, the surface will look shiny, let it dry completely to allow the oil to be absorbed. Step 4 After 2 hours re-apply the oil in the same way. Again, let it dry completely. Best if you wait for next 24 hours. If you notice excess of oil, just wipe off with a clean cloth. Well, now your teak furniture is ready to be used. Make sure that you dust it regularly.
