Do you want a sturdy shower caddy that looks natural and traditional, while at the same time is actually
quite elegant? Then consider a teak shower
caddy.
First of all, you might be wondering what teak is. Teak is a hard and durable tropical hardwood tree with
yellowish brown wood that is used for a variety of purposes. Teakwood even has a mild fragrance.
A teak shower caddy is made out of teakwood and has all the natural weather resistant
properties of that wood. It will not corrode and is also mildew, rust, and water resistant. It is also quite sturdy and stable. Best of all, teak is
eco-friendly! A teak shower caddy gives you a wonderful rustic look with the natural finish and color.
Many people like decorating their shower area just like they would any other part of the house. Besides
adding order to your shower items, a teak shower caddy can add a great look that not everybody else has. You can see an example of one in the picture
below.
They come in many different designs, but a typical one would have a couple shelves, a water draining tray,
and some holes or pegs for holding various toiletries. The caddies either have suction cups, hang on the shower head, or are fixed to one of the
shower's corners. Some are made of 100% teak and others have a teak base with the rest of the supporting materials being made out of metal. They also
tend to be a little bigger than most other types of caddies.
These types of shower caddies tend to cost a bit more than plastic or metal ones. Prices range from about
$30 to $300 or more. However, many would agree that the beauty and sturdiness of a teak shower caddy is worth a larger investment. You can find them
online, or at stores like Bed Bath And Beyond or Brookstone.
Maintaining Your Teak Caddy - The
good news is that maintaining them is very easy, although you might want to use teak oil and wipe it down every now and then to keep the natural
shine. Left untreated, it is possible that it may loose some of its original color. If you search online, you will come across products specially
made to maintain teak wood. You shouldn't need to clean it often, but when you do, make sure not to use an abrasive brush. You can also use a mild
soap and then dry off with a soft cloth.
We hope this page gave you a good introduction to what the elegant teak caddy is all about and will help
you in deciding what type of shower caddy is best for you.
