Teak requires little maintenance. However, when placed directly in the shower, your teak mat, bench, or accessory may accumulate soap residue. To clean your teak item, use a soft bristle brush to scrub gently with the grain. Make sure to clean the underside as well. Rinse well with fresh water and let it air dry. To avoid grime or mildew, please ensure the teak regularly dries thoroughly. This is especially important in areas with little or no air circulation, such as enclosed shower stalls.
