Steps on How to Clean Rattan Furniture

Rattan (cane) garden furniture is an interior model with many outstanding advantages, such as rich, durable, and affordable design, so this product is increasingly receiving customers’ love. However, after a period of use, rattan furniture will be ugly and lose its aesthetics. The following article will share how to clean rattan furniture step by step.

1. Use Cloth And Water

Cane/ rattan materials are easily affected by dust and smoke, making the air environment moist for a long time, as well as dirty and dusty objects, making these items yellow and not durable.

Therefore, the easiest way to clean a rattan furniture is just to use a damp cloth to clean the  dust and stains. For heavily soiled objects, you must work hard to wipe them until they are clean and then put them out to dry in the sun to prevent moisture and help preserve them as best as possible.

2. Use A Vacuum Cleaner

Rattan tables and chairs often have many openings because they are woven together. The holes in the table and chairs will be dusty and difficult to clean. You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust stains on them, then dry them with a wet towel and leave them to dry in the sun.

3. Use Detergent

• Dissolve the detergent in clean water, then dip a brush or sponge into the solution. Slowly rub gently all over the rattan furniture, then use a dry towel to wipe away the foam on the furniture.
• 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.
