Finishes can vary from natural to light, to dark, to even mahogany. Teak bathroom flooring is beautiful because it looks sharp and simple with straight lines. For a more customized look, the use of patterns in the layout adds depth and variety to the finished flooring.

No matter what type or style of teak flooring you choose, it’s critical to care for it to assure it looks great for years to come. Luckily, teak flooring doesn’t require a high level of care. To avoid damages, always be mindful of things that could scratch or stain the wood. A properly sealed floor is assumed.
Cleaning Tips
Always use a soft broom with soft bristles on hardwood flooring. Brooms with hard or stiff bristles could potentially scratch the floor.
If you see large stains or dirt that’s hard to remove, use a hard sponge with a small amount of neutral soap and rub gently. A little bit of soap goes a long way and could potentially damage the wood, so go easy.
Protection Tips:
To minimize wear and tear on your floors, consider placing mats by all potential access points that enter into teak wood flooring areas. To decrease the chance of damages from scratching furniture, add scratch protection on the bases of your furniture.
Conservation Tips:
Optimally, teak floors should get sanded with 120 grit sandpaper every couple of years. By taking the time to do this task, the teak will look renewed – so much that you might even think that it’s new! However, this is a job that you should defer to a professional, as he or she will have the tools, the skills, and the know-how to accomplish this job without damaging or ruining the teak floors.
Special Attention
Avoid rubbing your teak floor with any type of brush that has hard bristles. While they might seem relatively innocent, these bristles can cause serious damage to wood floors. In addition to not using hard bristles, also avoid using detergents that contain bleach or ammonia on wooden floors, as they cause serious damage to the wood.
