It's a nasty, completely caustic teak cleaner but it works like a son of a B. The only thing is you have to use a lot of water, so the upholstery, etc needs to be removed before starting. BTW, what kind of finish is on it - oil? LaDonna
for what it's worth, i use a less caustic cleaner on my interior teak. it's called Murphy's oil soap.i've even had some luck using it full strength on exterior teak it works
I would also start with Murphys oil. Once you have removed the dirt a few coats of Lemon or other Citrus Oils does a nice job of finishing off the job.
I don't have a clear answer, but have been through it big time twice. I did it to a Catalina 30 where I removed all the wood (big mistake as hard to get it all back together, but looked great) , and later to a Hunter 34 with wood left in. 1. Teak A eats the stains and the finish on most metals.. gone. . 2. Real mess to wash out with the teak B. Then you have to go back and oil/oil/oil.. what a mess. I wonder if anyone has used a mild solution of TSP and can report on results. It is a good household cleaner for grease and grime.
I usually use Murphy's Oil Soap then lemon oil. The interior got real bad last year (lot's of Mildew). I tested the Tylex in a small area and it cleaned the teak to the bone (I,m sure it's the bleach). I then uysed lemon oil again. Never looked better. Caution! Keep it away from the cushions. Good luck.
