Water, detergent, scrubbing brush and elbow grease. We used to use teak cleaners but found that the old ways were best and cheaper.....

Cheaper until you need to replace the teak which you've scrubbed away! Never use a scrubbing brush on teak.

Rinse off with fresh water then apply Boracol with a paint brush. Will get rid of all green mold and leave it a nice silver colour...

+1 Scrubbing brush on teak very bad news! Never use anything harsher than a sponge, and then across the grain.
Used teak wonder, good results, then an annual clean only needed. Just what a combination of oxalic and TW would do I cannot comment.

Oxalic acid in a thick solution of washing up liquid, with a sponge or very soft brush, then rinse off. Works on teak and GRP. For top sides use it in a solution of wallpaper glue. Chemists won't sell you oxalic acid as a rule, but you can buy it in a small quantities easily on E-Bay.

Definitely keep the brush very soft - if you would not be happy with the idea of using it to wash your face, keep it off your teak!

Wait for a period with no rain predicted for a week at least, apply Boracol or Patio Magic with a soft paint brush, wait at least a week, then wash it down with very mild soap and a very soft brush.

You can buy it cheaply and in large amounts as a general woodcare treatment from http://www.agwoodcare.co.uk/Item/oxalic_acid?gclid=CNakksKMpr4CFennwgodujgAFg

Also another +1 for not scrubbing teak, especially if you have the standard Bavaria teak faced ply as opposed to solid wood

Just spend the money, buy the Teak Wonder cleaner/brightner pack and a tin of the sealer. You'll end up with nice teak, and still have your skin and finger nails intact.
