Hi all,
I wondering if any of you have ever had to remove teak oil from
interior veneers.
But maybe one of you has already been down this path?

Best regards to all,

Try TSP.

Ditto on TSP.
However, TSP may darken the veneer and it may have to be bleached with
dilute oxalic and then 'tinted' with dilute analine dyes (wash) to
bring it back to the same color 'hue'. This is especially true if
there has been water staining and the teak has turned 'darker'.


Another for TSP. Mixed to maximum concentration in warm water, it makes
a good mild paint stripper. I found it to be about perfect for mahogany,
bringing out lots of nice highlights that really brightened the interior
up.
