Product Information

Full details

The Nordicare Teak Oil (2.5L) is designed for homeowners looking to restore and protect oiled hardwood surfaces throughout their indoor spaces. Its key benefit is reviving the original color of wood while providing stain protection for a natural, silk-matt finish. A potential consideration is its specific formulation for oiled hardwoods, meaning it's not suitable for all wood types or finishes.

FAQs

Can I use this oil on a wooden countertop?

Yes, if your wooden countertop is made of oiled hardwood, this product is suitable for its care and protection.

How often should I reapply Nordicare Teak Oil?

The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and environment, but typically once or twice a year is recommended. Watch for signs of dryness or reduced protection.

Is this oil suitable for outdoor wooden furniture?

This specific formulation is designed for indoor use. For outdoor furniture, please refer to Nordicare's range of outdoor wood care products.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying times can vary based on humidity and temperature. Generally, allow several hours for the oil to penetrate and dry before applying a second coat. Refer to the product's detailed instructions for precise timing.

Will this oil change the color of my wood significantly?

The oil is designed to revive the wood's original color, giving it a rich, natural appearance. It enhances, rather than drastically alters, the wood's inherent color.

Can I use this on bamboo furniture?

This product is formulated for oiled hardwoods. It is not recommended for bamboo unless the manufacturer specifically states it is treated with an oiled hardwood finish compatible with this product.

Does the oil leave a glossy finish?

No, the Nordicare Teak Oil provides a natural silk-matt finish, not a high gloss.

Troubleshooting

Wood surface appears blotchy after application.

This can happen if excess oil was not wiped off properly or if the oil was applied unevenly. Ensure all excess oil is wiped away thoroughly after each coat. If blotchiness is severe, you may need to lightly sand the area and reapply the oil evenly.

The wood color did not revive as expected.

Ensure the wood surface was properly cleaned and free of old finishes or contaminants. For significantly faded wood, multiple thin applications might be necessary to build up the color. Check that the product is indeed suitable for the type of wood you are treating.

The finish feels sticky or remains tacky.

This indicates that excess oil was left on the surface and did not fully penetrate or dry. Use a clean cloth lightly dampened with mineral spirits (test in an inconspicuous area first) to gently wipe away the sticky residue. Ensure proper ventilation during drying.

Water spots or stains are still visible.

While the oil provides stain protection, heavily saturated stains may require more intensive cleaning or sanding before reapplication. Ensure the oil has fully cured (which can take several days) before exposing it to heavy moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This wood oil is specifically formulated for oiled hardwood surfaces indoors. This includes woods like teak, bangkirai, eucalyptus, and mahogany. It is also suitable for other oiled hardwood surfaces in living rooms, bathrooms, and on floors. Do not use on unfinished, varnished, or painted wood, or on laminate flooring.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. If necessary, clean the wood with a suitable wood cleaner and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Stir the teak oil thoroughly before use.
  3. Apply a thin, even coat using a lint-free cloth, brush, or applicator pad. Work with the wood grain.
  4. Allow the oil to penetrate for the recommended time (refer to product instructions).
  5. Wipe off any excess oil that has not been absorbed by the wood with a clean, lint-free cloth.
  6. For deeper nourishment or a more robust finish, apply a second thin coat after the first has dried, following steps 4 and 5.

Care: Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth is recommended. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Reapply the teak oil periodically, typically once or twice a year, or as needed when the wood appears dry or the protective finish diminishes, to maintain its color and protection.
