We inherited my Husbands Grandmother’s teak dining room set. I can imagine that when it was new, this was a beautiful set but, after a few years in our house with young kids it’s not looking so great. The table, leaves, and chairs have damage from food, markers, play-doh, and normal wear and tear. I have tried several wood cleaners and oils but, nothing has helped. This dining room set is a huge eye sore for me, so much that I don’t invite people over. I am afraid that they will sit down clean but get up covered in filth.
After I saw an ad for Guardsman talking about their new “Stop Cleaning, Start Caring” campaign I decided to ask them for professional help. Guardsman has teamed up with Design Star Tracy Hutson to teach furniture owners how to care for their furniture by protecting it, nurturing the wood, and bring out its natural beauty. For my review, Guardsman sent me Revitalizing Wood Polish, Purifying Wood Cleaner, Wood Filler Sticks and Ultimate Dusting Cloths.
Revitalizing Wood Polish helps uncover the natural beauty in furniture. This is a wax and silicone free product.
Purifying Wood Cleaner is a gentle formula that breaks through the layers of gunk and grime on your wood.
Ultimate Dusting Cloths are 100% cotton flannel cloths. They are durable and can be washed and reused. Ultimate Dusting Cloths are lint free and won’t scratch your delicate furniture.
Wood Filler Sticks are an easy way to fill scratches and nail holes. They are colored to blend in to many different woods grains and stain colors.
Both my Husband and I were surprised by how well these products worked on the table. The Purifying Wood Cleaner was able to remove most of the marker and the Wood Polish helped restore the luster of the teak wood. Next I plan to tackle the leaves and chairs. I hope to soon get the chairs reupholstered. Then maybe we can entertain in our home again.
During Guardsman’s Stop Clean, Start Caring campaign you can visit their website to share a story about your most beloved piece of furniture and how care for it. Tracy Hutson will choose one lucky winner to receive a personal design session…including a $1500 room makeover. (Official rules on their website)
You can find Guardsman on their website, facebook, and twitter pages.
Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
