STAR BRITE Teak Cleaner & Brightener, Restore Weathered Wood, 128 OZ (094900)

This stuff works. Was worth the cost given what it was able to do. I had recently refinished a teak table but was not satisfied with the reds coming through with the oil I used (table looked too orange). Considering I used multiple coats of the oil after sanding, I was really concerned it was not going to be easy to get back to a good re-starting point. This product worked quickly and I was able to get the results I wanted (key was to let it soak, brush, rinse, re apply, brush, rinse, repeat. Used the full bottle but it worked. This is now my go-to for teak cleaning.

I've used this one gallon for 2 years and still have enough to clean my teak swing again. This is a great product and it works as it should. Application and rinsing is easy. So glad I found this product. The pictures show the "dirty" before picture and the gray looking picture is the after cleaning with the dark portion having the teak oil applied. I believe this to be a good value.

This stuff really works. I dunno how but it makes teak look new. Works even better than some expensive 2-part teak cleaners I’ve used and there’s far less risk of discoloration in my experience. Just make sure to rinse it off well afterward. I used it to clean an interior floor so I was hesitant to use a lot of water at first but eventually I let go of that fear and the results were far better. (Last photo includes polyeurathane finish).

Product works as advertised. I tried another brand but not satisfied with the results so ordered this teak cleaner and was very pleased with the result on my 7 year old teak deck chairs. Would recommend to anyone.

Worked great on my Teak bench to remove all the dirt.

I used this on outdoor teak chairs that had years of gray oxidation embedded in the grain. I initially tried sanding alone, and while it lightened the surface, the gray streaking in the pores and cracks remained. This product removed oxidation that sanding simply could not reach. My process was: rinse the wood, scrub lightly with the grain, rinse again, apply the cleaner/brightener, let it dwell for a few minutes, scrub, then rinse thoroughly. The difference was immediate and dramatic. The cleaned pieces were uniform in color and ready to oil, while the sanded-only pieces still looked streaky by comparison. A few tips for best results: • Let the product sit 2–4 minutes before scrubbing, do not let it dry • Rinse very thoroughly, especially joints and slat gaps • Allow at least 24 hours of drying before oiling After oiling, the cleaned teak absorbed evenly and looked like new. This saved a significant amount of sanding time and produced a much better finish. Highly recommended for teak furniture that is weathered or uneven. Sanding alone is not enough.

We use this once a year to brighten up teak tables and chairs on a covered patio in Florida. Works as intended.

Reasonably good cleaner but I don’t see much brightening. Tried two times and scrubbed pretty thoroughly.
