Our house has 100 year old skirting boards, wood work up the stairs, etc. When we moved it in we removed a hundred years of paint, and stained all the wood with teak oil.

It looked lovely at the time, but is looking a little dated now with 10 years of time elapsed.

I think if I use teak oil on it again, it will darken the wood which I don't want to do.

Sorry if this is really ignorant, but what's the best product to refresh the wood. Wax, varnish, an other product?

Thanks in advance

kingandy2nd, good evening.

Know what you mean did that [minus the teak oil]

Can I suggest you lightly sand of the wood, removing top layer of patina then use wax ?

I used wax on the property I did, I feel that wax is a more "natural" material and tends to preserve the natural colour of the wood.

Andy,

That product looks the part, seems like a softer to apply material than traditional bees wax and paraffin.

Good luck hope it works.
