Is this bench completely solid teak? Is it stained or natural color?

Solid teak throughout? Natural or has a stain been applied? If it is stained, will the stain come off eventually or ruin my tile floors?

    Bench is made of 100% teak wood and has an oil stained rub. Proper care must be taken to keep the finish looking new. I have attached care instructions.

    CLEAN AND CARE SUGGESTIONS:

    Teak wood is well known for its natural qualities and beauty, for both outdoor and indoor

    furniture. Teak wood is naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Like all natural materials

    however, the wood used to make our Teak Shower Bench needs to be maintained so it will

    last for many years.

    It is recommended, that for best results, the bench be dried after each use. Wiping down

    the bench will help to eliminate a buildup of soap residue, and minerals found in varying

    degrees in all water.

    Periodically clean your bench using a mild solution of warm water, white vinegar, and a

    small amount of laundry soap.

    Mild cleaning solution: To 1 gallon warm water add one cup of white vinegar and a few

    drops of mild laundry soap.

    Washing the bench every couple of months with a soft bristle brush will help to eliminate a

    soapy build-up and keep your bench looking new. Always start with a mild solution and if

    build-ups become too severe, you can try a stronger Teak Wood cleaner sold online or at

    most Home Improvement Centers.

    For preservation consult your local hardware or home improvement store for teak wood

    preservation. Be sure to consider if the teak is being used in the shower or otherwise high

    moisture area.moisture area. Also, note some treatment products may have an effect on surrounding surfaces (tile, carpet, linoleum, etc.). Please read and follow all label directions, warnings, or cautions before using.
