Description
The Gloster Teak & Upholstery Cleaner is a dedicated maintenance spray designed to clean and refresh Gloster teak furniture and outdoor upholstery fabrics in a single step, helping to remove dirt and staining from weather‑exposed furniture surfaces.
Key Features
- Dual‑purpose cleaner: Formulated for use on both teak furniture and suitable outdoor upholstery fabrics, so you can treat frames and cushions with one product.
- Thorough cleaning action: Designed to thoroughly clean and brighten dirty or weathered teak and to lift stubborn dirt and stains from performance outdoor fabrics.
- Ready‑to‑use spray: Supplied as a ready‑to‑use cleaner that is sprayed directly onto pre‑moistened, stained areas before being worked with a pad, sponge, or soft brush.
- Part of Gloster care system: Intended to be used before Gloster Teak Sealer or Teak & Upholstery Protector, forming the cleaning step in Gloster’s recommended care routine.
- Outdoor furniture focused: Developed specifically for outdoor teak and fabric, which are exposed to more intense weathering than indoor furniture.
Frame & Cushion Colourways
Gloster specifies this cleaner for use on their teak outdoor furniture and on Gloster outdoor upholstery fabrics, including performance and water‑resistant textiles, as part of a periodic deep‑cleaning routine.
Materials & Construction
Cleaner Type & Use
Teak cleaning: Used to remove dirt, surface oils, and weathering from new, dirty, or aged teak before you apply Gloster Teak Sealer or Teak & Upholstery Protector.
Upholstery cleaning: Also suitable for deep cleaning Gloster outdoor fabrics when standard soap‑and‑water cleaning is not enough to remove marks or stains.
The product is described as a ready‑to‑use, water‑based cleaning solution in spray form; no detailed ingredient list is publicly specified in the available care information.
Gloster Care System
Part of a three‑step system: Gloster positions this cleaner alongside their Teak Sealer and Teak & Upholstery Protector as a system to clean, seal, and protect teak frames and outdoor fabrics.
Deep‑clean role: Used periodically as a deeper clean than everyday soap and water, especially on furniture that is heavily used or in exposed locations.
Usage & Care
Ideal Applications
Teak furniture: Suitable for Gloster teak outdoor dining, lounge, and occasional pieces that have accumulated dirt, stains, or weathering and need to be cleaned before further treatment.
Outdoor upholstery fabrics: Intended for Gloster outdoor fabrics that require a more intensive clean to remove stubborn soil or marks.
Application Instructions
Safety & preparation: Gloster advises wearing eye protection and rubber gloves and protecting the ground below before cleaning; on fabrics, test in an inconspicuous area first to confirm colour fastness.
Cleaning steps: Thoroughly wet the teak or fabric with clean water, spray the cleaner onto the damp surface, allow it to soak for a few minutes, then scrub with the supplied pad, sponge, or a soft brush (following the grain on teak). Rinse carefully with plenty of clean water and allow the furniture to air dry completely.
After‑care: Once the surface is fully dry, Gloster recommends applying Teak & Upholstery Protector to restore water repellence, and using Teak Sealer on teak if you wish to help maintain its colour after cleaning.
