On a well cared for teak deck, you should find yourself repairing/replacing the caulking more often than the wood. Sluicing the deck once or twice a day (more often in very hot conditions) with clean sea water keeps the grain swollen and tight. This not only gives a natural barrier to some liquid spills abut also stops water working its way under the deck, thus preventing leaks, permanent damp and rotting from beneath. I have found Teepol to be a good cleaner on teak and it copes well with salt water too.
