Professional Deep Cleaning for Teak Decks

Teak decks are constantly exposed to demanding marine conditions. Sea water, dirt, grease, oils, atmospheric pollution and everyday foot traffic can gradually build up on the surface and leave teak looking dirty, dark and tired.

KING & KING Teak Minus Step 1 is a professional marine teak cleaner developed to provide effective cleaning of teak decks and other exterior teak surfaces on yachts and boats.

Its concentrated formula helps break down and remove dirt, grease, oils and accumulated contaminants, preparing the teak for the second stage of the KING & KING treatment.

The formula is biodegradable, phosphate-free and acid-free, making it suitable for professional yacht maintenance applications.

Step 1 of the KING & KING Teak Care System

KING & KING Teak Minus forms the first stage of a professional two-step teak cleaning and restoration system.

Step 1 – KING & KING Teak Minus

Cleans the teak thoroughly, helping to break down dirt, grease, oil and other contaminants that have accumulated on the wood.

Step 2 – KING & KING Teak Plus

Applied after Teak Minus, KING & KING Teak Plus Step 2 completes the treatment by helping restore the teak’s natural brightness and clean, refreshed appearance.

Using both products as a complete system provides an effective solution for maintaining teak decks on yachts and boats.

Concentrated Formula with Adjustable Dilution

One of the main advantages of KING & KING Teak Minus Step 1 is its concentrated formula, allowing the strength of the cleaning solution to be adjusted according to the condition of the teak.

Heavy Cleaning

Dilute 1 part Teak Minus with 3 parts water.

Ideal for teak with heavy dirt, grease, oil or accumulated contamination.

Light Cleaning

Dilute 1 part Teak Minus with 10 parts water.

Suitable for lighter contamination and regular teak maintenance.

The concentrated formula makes Teak Minus particularly practical for professional yacht crews and vessels with large teak areas.
