Teak panel care

For our teak worktops, we recommend the BioMaderas worktop oil for indoor use. It is safe for food, particularly water-repellent and protects the surface from soiling and cracks.

Application

The oil is applied to the wood with a roller or brush until the wooden panel is wet-on-wet and no more oil is absorbed. To do this, the untreated wood must be clean, dust-free and dry. The excess oil is then massaged into the wood with a lint-free cotton cloth until the surface appears dry.

Drying time and further application

After approx. 24 hours, the worktop can be polished with a cotton cloth and the process can be repeated if necessary. No water should get on the worktop for a total of two to three days until it is completely dry.

How often should the teak worktop be oiled after the first oiling? To maintain the quality and appearance of the worktop in the long term, it should be re-oiled several times a year. As a rule of thumb, you can use the change of season as a guide.
