Insahrefurniture Guide&Tips: To Clean Real Wicker Furniture

[inshare rattanset]

Outdoor Rattan Set – both natural and synthetic – is a bit more high-maintenance than other furnishings in your home. Whether it’s indoors or out, various elements including dust, dirt and pollen are easily captured and nestled into nooks and crannies, which can quickly make your furniture look dirty. Be proactive with your cleaning routine, and your wicker will thank you.

To Clean Real Wicker Furniture

The process of cleaning natural wicker isn’t that much different. Bear in mind that you’ll have to be gentle with the brushes to prevent fraying and splintering, and allow for extra dry time as the wicker will absorb the water you used to clean.

Begin by removing all cushions, and using a soft-bristled brush to agitate dust, dirt, and pollen that has settled on the surface. If you use natural wicker furniture indoors, dusting is a good routine for cleaning for those pieces as well.

Though the brush loosens debris, the dust is still bound to settle in its tight weave, and you’ll want to get as much of it as possible out before you wet the wicker. To do this, you can also vacuum, or use an air compressor to loosen additional dust so that it doesn’t become more trapped once in contact with water.

While you're dusting, be on the lookout for mildew in areas on the arms or beneath the seat cushion that may become saturated with moisture but not dry easily. Apply a spray that’s 50% hydrogen peroxide/50% water to these areas to let it begin to absorb.

Create a bubbly bath of dish soap and warm water and use a sponge to apply it directly to the wicker. Allow the soapy water to drip between the layers of wicker. Place an emphasis on distributing those soapy bubbles so they get everywhere!

Outdoor Wicker Care

An effective all-purpose cleaning solution for outdoor wicker furniture is 1/4 cup of liquid dish soap and two cups of warm water. Wipe the wicker with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse away the soapy suds with a garden hose. For mold and mildew removal, add one cup of white vinegar to the solution.

For tough dirt and stains, use the same solution in combination with a soft brush; an old toothbrush will help you get into the nooks and crannies. Afterward, make sure to rinse thoroughly with plain water and dry thoroughly.
