Why the Teak Wood?
Teak wood is celebrated for its natural beauty and legendary durability. But even the best
furniture deserves a little care to stay beautiful for years to come. At Baba Living, we want you
to enjoy your premium teak wood furniture for decades, whether it’s gracing your living room
or transforming your outdoor terrace.
Teak’s natural oils make it highly resistant to moisture, pests, and decay. For outdoor furniture in
Malaysia’s tropical climate, this means it weathers beautifully, even developing a silvery grey
patina over time. Many homeowners love this look, but if you prefer to maintain teak’s rich
golden-brown color, occasional cleaning and oiling can help.


To clean your teak furniture, simply wash it with mild soap and water using a soft brush or
sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or power washers, which can damage the surface. For stubborn
stains, a gentle sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will restore its original finish.
If you want to maintain its warm brown tones outdoors, apply teak oil or a specialised teak
sealer once or twice a year. Indoors, teak typically needs even less care—a quick dusting or
occasional wipe with a damp cloth will keep it looking perfect.

hand-finished in Central Java, Indonesia, ensuring stability and beauty. By giving your teak
furniture minimal but thoughtful care, you’re not just preserving an investment—you’re
honoring craftsmanship that reflects centuries of Indonesian tradition.
