How frequently should teak outdoor planters be oiled to maintain their appearance?
Teak outdoor planters are prized for their durability and natural beauty, but regular oiling is essential to preserve their appearance. To maintain the rich golden-brown hue of teak, it's recommended to oil the planters every 3-6 months, depending on climate and exposure. In harsh sunlight or rainy conditions, more frequent applications (every 2-3 months) may be necessary. Before oiling, clean the surface with a teak cleaner and let it dry completely. Apply a high-quality teak oil evenly with a brush or cloth, following the wood grain. Over-oiling can lead to a sticky residue, so wipe off excess oil after 15 minutes. With proper care, your teak planters will maintain their elegance for years.
