Marine Tex TE-KA Teak Wood Cleaner - 2 Gallon Kit
Application/Direction Information
TE-KA deep cleans without any hard scrubbing.
Wear protective glasses and rubber gloves. Mask adjacent surfaces such as mahogany, metal, fiberglass and painted areas. Do not allow TE-KA formula A to remain on caulked seams for more than 3-4 minutes before neutralizing with formula B. If formula A spills on fiberglass, painted or other surfaces, neutralize immediately with formula B, then rinse off with plenty of water.
1. Wet teak deck and surrounding area with water. Apply formula A over wet deck directly from bottle over a 3-4 sq ft area. Spread evenly with a rough pad or low-bristled brush. Do not scrub. When area darkens in a few minutes, brush lightly. Mist water over any area that has dried before applying formula B.
2. Pour formula B and spread evenly over dark brown area and gently brush loosened dirt out of the grain. Area will lighten to golden yellow. Thoroughly hose area with plenty of water, including run-off area.
When cleaning teak trim, squirt on a small amount of TE-KA formula A, and spread with a small brush to prevent run-off stains.
After teak has dried, apply a quality teak oil to protect the surface of teak and other fine woods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can TE-KA Teak Wood Cleaner be used on woods other than teak?
Because it is an aggressive cleaner, it is recommended only for teak. The manufacturer recommends diluting both formula parts by half with water before trying it on other woods. Be sure to test in a small, inconspicuous are first.
TE-KA spilled on fiberglass or vinyl. What should I do?
Immediately clean the surface with clean, wet rag. When using TEKA, always keep water on hand. In cases where TE-KA has sat on the surface for extended periods of time, the manufacturer recommends mixing up part B with some toothpaste and scrubbing.
After finishing, there are visible black marks on the wood. What happened?
If there are black streaks or marks, it means TE-KA sat on the wood for long, dried to the surface. Let the wood dry, wet and wash again with part A and water. Scrub more than usual, and finish with part B.
