MADE AND TESTED BY THE DECK TEAM
The missing step in teak deck care
Teak care has always been two steps: clean, then brighten. But acid brightener doesn't stop working when you rinse. What's left in the grain and seams softens the caulking and turns it sticky. Step 3: Caulking Care neutralises that acid, so your deck finishes clean, golden and protected.
1. Alkaline cleaner lifts dirt and grime.
2. Acid brightener restores the golden colour.
3. Caulking care neutralises acid and protects the seams.
Teak care questions
I already use a two-step teak system. Will this work with it?
Yes. Step 3 is designed to follow acid-based teak brighteners, so keep the cleaner and brightener you trust and finish with Step 3.
Isn't a good freshwater rinse enough to stop sticky caulking?
A rinse removes most of the brightener, but acid stays in the grain and along the seams. That leftover acid keeps softening the caulking, and the result is sticky seams. Step 3 neutralises it rather than only diluting it.
