When you are considering what type of furniture to purchase for your home, what comes to mind? For many people the common thoughts relate to color, shape and style, so they know something will fit into their home.

But what about a piece's capability meet Mother Nature's wrath? Sure, you feel about this for furniture but what about other home furnishings in your home?

You may have noticed that Fate hasn't been very friendly this year. In fact, my wife been downright angry it seems. There have been natural disasters around the globe with some of the worst relating to flooding. Imagine if the flood waters came up and into your home. How would your furniture fare through it?

This is one thing that people with teak tables and furniture don't have to worry about.

You may think that teak tables are really meant to be furniture. While they can indeed be pieces that do well on the patio, they also are the kinds of pieces that hold up and are easily recoverable if the water that is supposed to stay outside is able to get into a house.

Teak wood is naturally water resistant solar panel cleaning. That means teak tables are going to be water resistant as well. Unlike other woods, teak wood is packed much with natural skin oils. These oils don't go away just because a teak tree has been cut down. Instead they are so thick and common that they keep getting work done in the wood for years. It's the oil that is going to save the teak tables when the flood water comes.

When flood waters come to a regular wood table, they find miniature holes, cracks and holes which are made as the wood has dried out since the tree was mortally wounded to make the furniture piece. The water gets inside and seeps into the wood causing it to swell and expand. This can lead to more brilliant or a warping of the wood. Eventually, when the water disappears altogether, the wood may be able to be dried out, but permanent damage was already done to change the planning and constitution of the piece.

Teak tables on the other hand don't really care that the flood waters have arrived. Have you ever tried to launder both hands when you have oil or grease built in, you will realize that the water can't get to your skin. It forms drops on top of the surface of your skin and just sits there until it falls off. Teak tables operate in in the same manner. There is so much of the natural oil in the wood that the water costly on the lateral side, but can't break in to damage the wood. Eventually, the flood waters ease off and your teak tables are none the worse for the wear.

The only thing you will have to do is clean off any grime and dirt that was brought in, as well as any bacteria or parasitic organisms that may have been in the dirty water, and your teak tables are ready to go back to work.
