How Do You Clean Outdoor Rattan Furniture?

Outdoor Rattan furniture is a great way to add style and sophistication to any outdoor area. It’s lightweight, stylish and low maintenance, making it an ideal choice for patios, decks and other outdoor living areas.

However, if it isn’t properly cared for and maintained, rattan furniture can become dull and damaged over time. To keep your outdoor Rattan furniture looking its best, regular cleaning is essential.

The first step in cleaning your outdoor Rattan furniture is to remove any loose dirt or debris from the surface. This can be done by using a soft-bristled brush or vacuum cleaner with an attachment that won’t scratch the surface of the rattan material. You should also inspect the furniture for any visible signs of damage such as cracks or chips in the frame or fraying of the wicker material.

Next, you’ll want to give your Rattan furniture a good wipe down with a damp cloth. This will help remove any remaining dirt or debris that was not removed during the initial brushing.

After this has been completed, you can use a mild soap solution to further clean the surface of your Rattan furniture. Make sure that you rinse off any soap residue with clear water after you have finished cleaning.

Once your Rattan furniture has been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed off with water, you should allow it to dry completely before adding any type of sealant or protective coating. For added protection against wear and tear, consider applying a UV-resistant coating specifically designed for outdoor materials like rattan.

Conclusion:

Cleaning outdoor Rattan furniture doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. With regular maintenance such as brushing away loose dirt, wiping down with a damp cloth and using mild soap solutions when necessary; your Rattan furniture will remain looking great year after year! Additionally applying a UV-resistant coating will help preserve its quality over time so it can continue to provide you with stylish outdoor seating for years to come!
