  • After you have completed all the above steps and the interior is completely dry, do the final step to give the rattan furniture a polished finish. Put the linseed oil in a small bowl, soak it in the oil with a soft cloth, and wipe the rattan fibers from top to bottom. Flaxseed oil will add moisture to the rattan fibers, prevent cracking, and give the rattan a new look.
