Top Teak Tips

I never imagined whilst mis-spending my youth watching Barry Bucknall knocking out Victorian feature fireplaces and covering up Georgian doors with plywood that any of this accumulated knowledge would come in handy in Ibiza.

I was right. Barry's hints and tips for late 50's Britishers (the date not the age) never included anything about teak sunloungers, as back then there was no sunbathing allowed - something to do with sun cream being rationed, I think.

So, here's my tip. If your teak sunlounger is looking a bit grubby and needs a new coat of teak oil, give it a good scrub with a solution of hot water, salt and fairy liquid. rinse it down, let it dry, wipe it and then Voila, teak oil here we come.
