Spray loads of lynx deodrant on it. Choclate is nice.
It is a good idea to protect teak wood from excess moisture. You can use Tung oil to keep the surface shiny and waterproof. But teak is a forgiving wood. You can use soapy water and a brush to clean any dirt or excess oil and ensure that the furniture is dry before you use placemats.
Yes, if it has not been painted. Use with a rag for best results.
Linseed oil is old tech. I would not use it unless it was a very specialized application where you were going for a particular oiled look, or if the wood were something like teak (where u would use teak oil only). Use a readily available deck sealer.

You can use a water seal product like Thompson's if you want. I prefer to simply oil the wood with olive oil or linseed oil and protect the wood for rain with a cover.
Teak furniture is a high quality wood furniture. It is made from a tropical wood, teak, that is extremely durable, dense and weather resistant. Teak furniture is often used as outdoor furniture.
They should have a 'Teak Oil' that you can use to finish the furniture
To properly apply teak oil over stain, first ensure the stained wood is clean and dry. Use a clean cloth to apply a thin, even coat of teak oil in the direction of the wood grain. Allow the oil to penetrate for about 15 minutes, then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired level of protection and enhancement. Allow the wood to dry completely before using or applying additional coats.
Yes. Here's how you do it: Start by protecting whatever is under the wood. You use a LOT of oil on teak, and some of it will drip off...carrying the teak's dark pigment with it. If the drippings land on something you don't want dark pigment on, like your fiberglass boat or the sidewalk, you can't get it off. Next, take a little oil and cut it 4 parts oil to 1 part mineral spirits and brush it onto the wood. Don't use a cloth because you can't apply enough oil. Get it nice and wet with oil, then let it sit until the wood absorbs it all. Succeeding coats are done with pure oil. Keep on oiling until no more will soak in, then rub the oil off the wood with cheesecloth--which you WILL put in a coffee can full of water after you're done with it to keep it from spontaneously combusting. Six weeks later, you get to do it all over again. I recommend spar varnish instead.
Teak furniture isn't really meant to be painted. The teak has some sort of oil in it that doesn't allow the paint to stick to it.
The best type of wood to use for a bench is hardwood, such as oak, teak, or cedar, as they are durable and resistant to weathering.
Teak is the best type of wood to use in bathrooms for durability and moisture resistance.
