Natural Weathered Eucalyptus Furniture Care:
Exposed to the elements eucalyptus will acquire a silver-gray patina. To obtain the patina leave
the furniture outdoors in the sunlight without treating it with a teak sealer or teak oil and it will
begin to develop the silver-gray patina. During the weathering process, a slight lifting of the
grain may occur, and you may even see a few cracks. This is not considered a defect, but a
natural process of the wood expanding and contracting.
To care for Weathered Eucalyptus:
•Lightly sand the surface of the furniture with 150 or 180 grit sandpaper once a year to
remove any fuzziness that occurs due to exposure to the elements. Be sure to sand
lightly to retain the natural patina.
•Clean as needed with a soft bristle brush and mild soap and water. You may also clean
it with a teak cleaner. Rinse well with clean water after washing.
