How To Properly and Maintain Rattan/Wicker Furniture



Rattan is an aesthetic, lightweight, and durable material for furniture. It’s also Eco-friendly. Whether you choose to display your rattan indoors or outdoors, following these steps will keep your rattan clean and in good repair.
Things you’ll need:

  1.   Dishwashing detergent
  2.   Water
  3.   Soft cloth
  4.   Bowl 
  5.   Toothbrush
  6.   Boiled linseed oil
  7.   Lacquer
  8.   Paintbrush

STEP 1

Fill a bowl with water. Add a few drops of dish detergent and stir to agitate until bubbles form on the surface.

STEP 2

Dip a soft cloth into the bubbles only, not into the water.

STEP 3

Wipe the rattan with the bubbles. The slight moisture cleans without over-wetting the rattan, which can cause damage.

STEP 4

Use a toothbrush or other soft brush to clean in the cracks and crevices, using the same suds-only cleaning method.

STEP 5

Repeat weekly for the best results.

Question: How long does rattan furniture last?

Synthetic rattan furniture can last as much as 20 years outdoors, even if left out in harsh weather conditions. This is based on whether the furniture is made from strong aluminum or plastic frames. And also, if the weave is strong and covered in a UV protective coat.
