I just inherited some outdoor teak furniture for the deck, a couple of table and many chairs. What is the best way to clean this in order to restore back to its original look-right now its kind of gray and dirty. Also is there a special stain that is used after cleaning? Thanks for your help!

One of the best features of teak wood is that it turns a silver color naturally outdoors. Next, is that it will endure nicely without any finish at all.
To refinish it, make sure the piece is clean, lightly sand it with 220 grit paper, clean with a tack cloth, then apply coats of teak oil finish as needed to cover the piece, allowing each coat to dry before the next. The finish can be touched up as needed between refinishing sessions.
Hope this helps.
