DRIFT-LOOK TEAK
Teak is an ancient hardwood, rich in natural oils which makes it perfect for durable outdoor furniture. Ultimately, revitalized teak becomes an essential part of a creative, sophisticated MAMAGREEN furniture design.
The focus is not just reclaiming and recycling, but upcycling; whereby natural and historical value of the teak is acknowledged, and full potential realized. MAMAGREEN use reclaimed teak in a very original way, that they call ‘drift-look’.
Old buildings, neglected bridges and disused boats and other construction are deconstructed to harvest the old teak parts.
MamaGreen is all about minimizing their footprint on the environment.
Recycled teak has character. There are a lot of signs these wood components had a prior function. There are holes where bolts were used, there are nail holes, damages from hinges and other imperfections, that give recycled teak its unique look.
Both natural and handmade distress marks are showcased because each aesthetic imperfection in the teak adds to the exceptional feeling of the furniture.
The ‘extra-distressed’ recycled teak is finished either ‘as original’, or in rich espresso.

Care for Teak
Your teak outdoor furniture requires regular cleaning and basic care to maintain its appearance over the many years it can be enjoyed.
There are a lot of products on the market to protect, color or clean teak.

Should you do anything to treat your teak? A lot of it is a matter of taste. If untreated, and exposed to UV, the teak will slowly turn silver grey, but will remain as strong as treated teak wood.
Maintenance Products: We advise to use as much as possible products from a reliable source with clear instructions and after sale service. Note that if you start to use maintenance products to keep the original appearance they will need to be reapplied on a yearly basis.
Basic Care: The number one rule is regular cleaning to avoid buildup of mold and mildew.
Avoid leaving food, leaves or dirt for an extended period of time on the teak.
Do not store furniture in a very humid, non ventilated space and do not cover your furniture with a plastic cover, teak needs to breathe.
Note that leaving items on the teak for a long period can cause discoloration. Teak changes color when exposed to UV.
Cleaning Untreated Teak: Clean on a consistent and regular basis with a hard synthetic brush, gentle eco-friendly dishwashing soap and clean water.
Never use a metal brush or steel wool.
Spills, such as wine or juices need to be cleaned immediately to prevent staining the furniture.

HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE (HPL)
MAMAGREEN'S Italian high pressure laminate (‘HPL’) is an eye-catching modern material, is able to withstand very harsh outdoor environments, and requires minimal maintenance.

Care for HPL

• Outdoor furniture made of HPL requires very little cleaning or care to last many years.
• Always protect table surfaces from hot serving dishes, and do not use as a cutting board.
• Wipe down with a soft, soapy cloth, then repeat without soap. Wipe away all water before leaving in the shade to dry, where possible.
• Wash down with water and all-purpose household cleaner or dishwashing detergent 2-3 times per year.
• Do not use strong, toxic solvents or alcohol based products to clean HPL. Never use abrasive cleaning aids such as steel wool or scouring powders.
• Store indoors or under cover if not in use for long periods of time, or during harsh winters.
