So you’ve bought your fabulous new teak lounger, chair, table, or all of the above (if you really like us). You’ve been convinced from further research outside of this site that teak is indeed the most durable, hardy wood at least on this planet, and that investing in teak now is a great long-term decision. You’re looking forward to the hassle-free, incredibly low maintenance nature of your new teak set when you notice another item on this website: Dragonfly Teak’s own Preserve-O Teak Treatment oil.
But wait? Isn’t teak supposed to protect itself? Isn’t the benefit of teak its ability to weather what other inferior wood products cannot?
All perfectly rational questions, of course. But I’d like to clarify that the main function of Dragonfly Teak’s Preserve-O teak oil is to preserve the fresh-cut, warm color of the teak when you first get it. Teak’s natural tendency is to age into a silvery patina as the years progress. If you want your teak furniture to keep its youthful appearance, this teak treatment is essential.
And although teak already features an amazing arsenal of protection thanks to Mother Nature, why not bolster it a little more? Although the Preserve-O Teak Treatment oil is mainly important in “locking in” that warm color, it also adds special waxes that apply an extra layer of moisture-repellency that is like an extra layer of armor.
Finally, a little goes a long way with this teak treatment. One quart of this will cover approximately 50 square feet of teak!
