Using your Madura outdoor bench is super easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your patio or garden. If you've chosen to use the fabric pad, simply put it on the bench seat. When it comes to maintenance, since the teak is water - resistant, it can handle normal outdoor weather conditions. But to keep it looking its best, give it a gentle clean with a mild soap and water solution every few months. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood's natural finish. Also, be aware that there's a Prop 65 warning for wood dust, so when cleaning or if there's any wear and tear, try to do it in a well - ventilated area.
