Sterling Teak Oil for Wood Care
Bo has, besides elbow grease, used Sterling Teak Oil to restore this beautiful chair back to its former glory
Sterling Teak Oil cleans the surface, highlights the tree’s grains and gives new life to the wood. Teakwood should regularly be oiled, otherwise the wood will dry out and get a dull surface. The oil is applied in a thin layer with a clean, lint-free cloth, possibly several times over as Bo has done. When the oil has been absorbed into the wood, wipe it down with a dry cloth.
Did you know that Sterling Polish assures the quality of all their products? The most important thing is that the customer is satisfied and can see the result after using the product.
Wood care with Bo Junker and Sterling Teak Oil
I found this old chair in connection with a move. I had an expectation that there was teakwood hiding under the white paint.
I disassembled the chair. With this type of chair, it is relatively simple as the seat was removed and then striped of its old cover.
Then I started the wood care by sanding with a sander.
It takes a little time and you must have patience. Use sandpaper in all the corners and finish with 240 grain, to get a nice finish.
Use a soft and lint-free cloth and gloves when applying the oil. Remember to let the oil soak into the wood, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
Continue until the entire chair has received an even coating of Teak Oil. The process can be repeated but remember to let the oil soak properly into the wood.
Here is the result. Underneath the old cover, the original cover was hidden.
– Bo later discovered that the chair was designed by Erik Buch in the 60’ies.
Sterling Teak Oil cleans the surface, highlighting the grain of the wood and gives the teak new nourishment. Teak need to be oiled regularly, otherwise the wood will dry out and get a dull surface. The oil is applied in a thin layer with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Tip on how to remove teak oil: Thorough cleaning of the teakwood furniture must be done with a mixture of mineral turpentine and vinegar (300 ml turpentine and 1 tablespoon vinegar). Apply with a cloth. Ensure good ventilation. Leave to dry and then apply the teak oil again.
