Joglo House Care 

Indoor Maintenance for Joglo Houses:

Joglo houses made from teak wood — whether reclaimed (old wood) or new — are quite easy to maintain. For interior parts like wooden pillars, walls, ceilings, and carved details, regular cleaning using a dry cloth or soft duster is usually enough.
To keep the natural shine and beauty of the wood, you can use furniture polish sprays (such as PLEDGE), which are widely available in hardware stores.

Outdoor Maintenance for Joglo Houses:

Exterior parts of the Joglo house are more exposed to sun and rain, so the surface of the wood may turn grayish over time, especially for teak wood.
This is a natural process and does not affect the strength of the wood. Just clean off dust and dirt regularly. If you wish to bring back the original color of the wood, you can do light sanding and apply a natural wood finish again.

Tips for Reclaimed and New Wood:

Reclaimed (old) wood usually has stronger character and richer grain but still needs protection from excess moisture and termites. New wood looks fresher and may need initial protection with anti-fungal or UV-resistant coatings.
Make sure your Joglo house has good air circulation to keep the wood dry and long-lasting.
