How to clean/maintain the wood steps into the cabin

[MichaelStacy]

How do you clean and protect the wood steps (teak I guess) that go into the cabin? My boat is a 2004 H33 - and assume that Hunter uses the same stuff in most of their recent models. I am not sure what the finish is, other than just sanded smooth teak?I ask the question because I am noticing that they are getting a dirty look - so it is time to do something.ThanksMichael

Then...

...when you're done with that put a little rubber backed mat on it and it will not need cleaning again. Just take up the mat and shake it out.

Re: clean/maintain steps

Thanks for the input. I guess the dumb question is the one you don't ask - especially when the answer is so obvious...Michael
