Firstly, wash the furniture with warm soapy water and a household scrubbing brush  to remove all dirt, moss, bird droppings etc.  This makes the  next  stage easier.

Now  apply  Lister Teak Cleaner *. Working on a small area  at a time apply sufficient  cleaner  to cover the surface.

Using  a  good  firm scrubbing  brush, work  the Lister Teak  Cleaner  into the furniture’s surface and  leave for  approximately 5 minutes.

Using  clean, warm after  wash the surface using the scrubbing brush. Rinse again and the Furniture will be returned to its original colour.

When the furniture is dry, apply Lister Teak Dressing/Protector following the instruction given in ‘Maintaining The Original  Colour’ section.

This is a natural feature of the wood and grease spots should gradually disappear after being exposed to sunlight. However, should you wish to remove these blemishes, we reconmmend  using  a degreasing agent and gentle scrubbing brush. Rinse off with clean water. Persistent  grease spots can be removed by using white spirit.

The is usually the result of rainwater  or sometimes sap dripping  from the leaves of  trees onto  the wood  leaving  dark  marks  or  spots. Ideally, we  recommend  that  Lister  furniture  is  not  placed  under  trees  if  at  all  possible. However, these marks  can  be  recommend  by  lightly  sanding with  fine  sandpaper.

Candle  wax  can  be removes  by  placing  brown  paper  over  the  wax  mark  and  pressing  with  a  warm  iron.  This  will  melt  the  wax, frawing  it  out  of  the  wood  and  the  paper,  For  wine  stains, we  recommend  using  methylated  spirts  to  wipe  the  area  clean.

This is  due  to  the  finished  item being  packages  and  stored  until  delivery  to  the  customer. Once  the  item  is  placed  outside  in  daylight, the  wood  will  return  to  this  natural  colour.
