Starbrite Premium Teak Cleaner – Step 1 – 1 Gallon (3.78L)

Bring faded, weathered teak back to life with Starbrite Premium Teak Cleaner – Step 1, the first and most important step in restoring teak decks and fine wood surfaces. Designed for marine and outdoor use, this premium formula safely removes dirt, grease, old teak oil, stains, mildew residue, and the grey appearance caused by sun and saltwater exposure—all without sanding or using harsh acid-based cleaners.

Whether you’re maintaining a luxury yacht, sailing boat, RIB, or outdoor teak furniture, this cleaner saves time and effort by restoring the wood’s original appearance while preserving its natural grain. The formula works on teak and other fine hardwoods and is safe for use around fiberglass and painted surfaces when used as directed.

After cleaning, follow with Starbrite Premium Teak Brightener – Step 2 to enhance the wood’s natural golden colour, then finish with a quality teak oil or sealer for long-lasting protection.
