Here is a product I have found some time ago from a company called INTEK. The product is called
INTEK TEAK ONE STEP and they say it is now being used by several cruise lines. It mixes with cold water and you put it on using a soft brush and rinse. Thats it...

They also have a line of other very useful products. It would be worth your time reading about these. I have not used these products yet but I will give them a try when the time is right.

Carnival Cruise Lines Selects INTEK Teak One-Step as The Exclusive Teak Cleaning Solution For It's Fleet.
After an extensive environmental and product performance review, Carnival Cruise Lines announced today the selection of INTEK Technology's Teak One-Step as the only authorized teak cleaning product for all eighteen ships in its fleet. In addition to the testing and evaluation, Carnival compared Teak One-Step's performance to several other teak cleaning products on multiple ships for a period of several weeks. At the conclusion of this comparison, Carnival proclaimed INTEK'S Teak One-Step as "the most effective and easiest to use" of all the products tested.
Teak One-Step is a nonacidic, nonhazardous, biodegradable, one-step teak cleaner, conditioner and brightness enhancer. It rapidly and safely removes dirt, salt, oils, microorganisms, stains, mold and mildew, at ambient temperature, without raising the wood grain or producing other deleterious effects. It gives excellent results when used mixed with ordinary tapwater, without damaging teak or brightwork, and without altering teakís natural oils or appearance.
INTEK Technology, a provider of specialty chemical products announced the introduction of the INTEK Teak One-Step product to their already extensive suite of environmentally safe and effective specialty chemicals at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2003.
