I got an old teak furniture.  Thinking of do some cleaning and making it presentable.  No need to look new but good.
How do I go about it?

very easy

first go buy sand paper, i cannot remember what number. u have to go down to a shop near to the kelantan lane thief market. it's opposite a whole roll of flats. they know the number to use. they are a rol of shop houses below a carpark i think. above them is carpark. it's behind the place where you go for testing of diesieses. near ah boy bike shop. it's beshide all the hardware shops. from thief market to walk there only less than 5 mins, maybe 2-3 mins walk.

then go hardware shop buy teak oil.

sand the furniture down with sandpaper, wipe the dust off nicely. prepare the oil and apply the area u have sanded and let it dry. it gives u the raw look.

if u want new look u must buy laquer and apply on it. either matt finish or gloss finish. most people ask for a raw finish now coated with teak oil.

Cool...
Thanks BFF.
The teak oil - any type and any hardware or the one you mentioned. Just follow the instruction on the bottle?
How about the sand paper? Tell them for teak furniture huh?

1
Dry furniture until it has less than 15 percent moisture content (approximately three to five days in dry weather).
2

Remove loose dirt with a clean, dry cotton cloth or soft bristled brush.
3

Clean dry furniture using a stiff bristle brush and a mild wood cleaner. Let it dry overnight.
4

Sand in the direction of the grain with medium grit paper to open the wood's pores to allow for greater penetration of the oil. Follow with finer grits, if necessary, depending on the condition of the wood's surface.
5

Use a clean, dry cotton cloth to remove sanding dust.

My teakwood TV rack keeps having mold on the inside? How can this be removed and prevent from recurring? I tried the lotion from DIY, bleach but it keeps coming back.

Teak wood furniture traditionally very popular as we knows this fact then first of all remove loose dirt through dry cotton, once wood is clean and dry then you use soft natural bristle brush for coating.
