Removing Teak Oil From Wood

Teak oil is often applied to wood surfaces to bring out the wood’s natural color and shine. Over time, however, the oil can build up and create a sticky, unattractive mess. In this tutorial, I’ll discuss the steps you can take to effectively remove teak oil from wood surfaces without damaging the wood.

Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, you’ll need to gather a few supplies. You’ll need a bucket, a scrub brush, some steel wool, a sponge, some masking tape, and a mild cleaner. Make sure the cleaner you use does not contain bleach or ammonia, as these can damage the wood. You may also want to wear gloves to protect your hands.

Remove the Excess Oil

Start by wiping away any excess teak oil with a rag or paper towel. Be careful not to rub too hard, as this can damage the wood. Once you have removed as much of the oil as possible, use masking tape to secure the edges of the wood. This will help prevent the cleaner from seeping into any cracks or crevices in the wood.

Apply the Cleaner

Once the wood is covered, mix the cleaner with warm water in the bucket. Dip the scrub brush into the mixture and use it to scrub away any remaining teak oil. You may need to repeat the process several times in order to completely remove the oil. Use the steel wool in hard-to-reach areas to ensure that the oil is completely removed.

Rinse the Wood

Once the oil has been removed, rinse the wood with clean water. Use the sponge to wipe away any residual cleaner. Make sure to rinse any areas that may have been missed during the cleaning process. Allow the wood to dry completely before applying any new teak oil.
