STAR BRITE Premium Teak Cleaner - Restore, Renew & Refresh Old Weathered Gray Teak Furniture & Other Fine Woods - Step 1-16 OZ (081416)

AMAZING! This worked so great. It really gave my table a new look and with minimal effort.

Works fast and thorough.

I would give this a 5 STAR but not sure if there is any product better. I have tried the Woodrich cleaners, oxalic acid etc... This stuff is by FAR the best to clean off the years crap & buildup. I have at least 600 sq ft of GARAPA decking and railing plus steps. STAR Brite Teak Cleaner woorks the best with the least amount of effort. I scrub the entire deck by hand and with a RYOBI cordless outdoor Patio sweeper drum brush. I bought the optional deck drum brush and that worked better then the black drum brush that came with the tool. I did not dilute at all. I am a contractor. I do use brightener oxalic acid to brighten. Not sure if it does much.

Decided to save a few bucks by refinishing the cheap outdoor furniture we bought during COVID from Wayfair a 5 years ago. Never before treated the wood and neglected proper protection during some winters. I bought the three step Star Brite process and it totally gave our tired furniture new life! Just a fair warning that this will take time. I had 4 chairs and 1 table and each of those pieces took approximately 3 hours each for the cleaner, brightener, and a couple coats of oil. You're looking at 15 hours of labor for the furniture I have photographed. The cleaner part of the process took the most time and effort. I used a metal scrub ball and it was wonderful but required more care and attention at the corners and hard to reach places. I'm also meticulous so some areas needed a second round of cleaning after I let it dry and saw some missed areas. I ended up using the entire 32 oz each of the cleaner and oil for this set and bought and extra bottle of step 1 and 3 just to finish the job. I do still think I may do a bit of light sanding (that I should have done after step 1) in another month and oil again. I loved the outcome even considering the amount of work. I'm a SAHM and it took me a good week and a half to finally get it all done. I'm hopeful that by oiling twice a year from now on I can extend the life of my furniture. I feel better restoring instead of replacing and honestly I think it looks better now with the signs of weathering than it did brand new. The original color of the wood from the factory was more red but I like this more pale color in the end. I did the majority of the work on my stone patio which I protected with a tarp during the cleaning and brightening process. I moved the furniture to the lawn to oil just to and drips on the tarp/stone that would get on my shoes and spread. I kept the hose by me and constantly cleaned out the metal scrub pad while doing step 1. The amount of grime that came off was substantial and I had to pressure wash the patio after, but honestly after the furniture was looking good I had to bring the rest of the space up snuff. If you have the time and energy, this 3 step process was very effective and saved me a bunch of money from buying new.

Good stuff. Works well.

I used another product that DIY sites recommended. It worked somewhat and so did I. There has to be a better way- I found this product. I decided to try it and I was amazed at how it worked! I did it twice on the bench I was cleaning. I guess I let the bench go too long without really cleaning it. So there are areas that did not clean up well and after rinsing and drying I have these streak marks from the water running off the wood. (I followed instructions) I know the bench was in dire need of cleaning - my fault and I plan on cleaning for a third time-BUT I really didn’t like the way the directions said to apply it. I’ve decided to try putting the cleaner in a spray bottle. Moral of the story: don’t let your teak wood get so grey. ( oh when it’s cleaned up I plan on using teak oil on it.) Easy to use. I thought the price is well worth it.

Doesn't take out mildew thats embedded in grain.

Teak wood cleaner was a great buy. Took the water stains out along with giving the wood a fresh look. Great price for the value!

Tres bon produit!

does what it is supposed to do, not the strongest cleaner available, but ok.

Great product that removes several seasons of grime off teak Follow the instructions and do not leave on for too long - make sure you rinse completely and wear gloves for sure - Really good product
