How to best clean a Teak Deck

While the greying of teak is not only natural but the fantastic way of teak actually protecting itself, all the dirt from the cities, in the air, coming down with the rain etc. does make the occasional cleaning of a yacht's Teak Deck a necessity. 

There are plenty of companies and products claiming to work miracles for your dirty teak deck while the truth is that all of these products - once applied - either enslave you for all time to come (you just have to keep using them!) and/or are pure poison for the actually fantastic quality of Teak.
What all these companies for obvious reasons wont tell you is, that the very best "cleaning detergent" to bring new life to your dirty Teak Deck simply is Salt Water! 

We have compiled this video in an attempt to make this information available to you which nobody interested in selling stuff will ever tell you about! After some 35+ years of blue water sailing - including having made pretty much all mistakes possible along the line :-), we have a lot more experience we plan to share with you. Please come back as we will continuously create and upload such videos to our channel.
