Maintenance and care rattan chair

• How does rattan chair weather?
  Rattan furniture, when exposed to the outdoors. This process will take approximately nine months, depending on the amount of sunlight and rain exposure. During the weathering process you may notice “checking” or small cracks that appear in the rattan. This is perfectly natural, as wood expands and contracts slightly when left outdoors. Checking is cosmetic only and in no way affects the structural integrity of the furniture.

• How should I clean my rattan chair?
  The only maintenance necessary for your chair is periodic cleaning. First, hose down the furniture with fresh water. Avoid spraying the rattan frame with a high pressure hose, as high pressure can erode the surface of the timber. Next, scrub the wet furniture using a soft bristle brush and a solution of 2/3 cup laundry detergent and 1/4 cup bleach in 1 gallon of warm water. When finished, rinse the entire piece with more fresh water to remove any remaining cleaning solution.
• How should outdoor furniture be stored for the winter?
  Rattan furniture may be left outside all year round without an outdoor furniture cover. Snow and freezing temperatures will not harm the furniture. If you prefer to store your furniture, we recommend doing so in a dry, unheated garage or garden shed.
• How should I care for rattan chair if it’s used indoors?
  If you choose to use your furniture indoors, we suggest that you periodically apply a thin coat of paste wax. Doing so provides the rattan with additional protection from natural body oils, dust, and dirt that may come in contact with the furniture.
• How can I prevent mildew on my rattan furniture?
  We recommend periodically cleaning the surface of your rattan to remove environmental deposits that could promote mildew growth.
