6. Care and Maintenance

Teak wood is naturally durable and resistant to water, requiring minimal maintenance. Following these guidelines will help preserve the beauty and longevity of your shower bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bench with a soft, damp cloth as needed. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
• Drying: Allow the bench to air dry completely after use in wet environments. Good ventilation will help prevent water spots and maintain the wood's condition.
• Finish: The product has a painted finish. If the paint is scraped off or shows signs of wear, it may need to be repainted to protect the wood and maintain its aesthetic appeal. No other specific maintenance is required for the wood itself.
• Storage: If storing for extended periods, especially in humid conditions, ensure the bench is clean and dry.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your VaeFae Teak Shower Bench.

• Bench is Wobbly:
  Solution: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Over time, screws may loosen with use; periodically check and retighten them. Verify that the bench is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Wood Appears Dry or Dull:
  Solution: While teak is naturally durable, prolonged exposure to water and air can affect its appearance. If the painted finish is worn, consider repainting. For natural teak, a teak oil treatment can restore its luster, though this product is stated to require no maintenance.
• Water Stains/Spots:
  Solution: Wipe off excess water after each use. For existing stains, a light cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by thorough drying, may help.
