Rattan furniture provides a natural looking, classic way to furnish your home. It’s easy to care for and is made from strong rattan materials. It also blends well with other styles of furniture. You can view our selection of quality rattan online. Also, we ship our rattan furniture anywhere in the U.S. Let’s look at how to preserve rattan furniture as long as possible.
- Do not saturate: Because rattan is a natural wood like material, excessive moisture may cause warping, therefore, you should avoid saturating when cleaning and soak up spills immediately. Wringing out a damp cloth before wiping the rattan pole is the best way to quickly remove dust.
- Dry thoroughly: Make sure to thoroughly dry rattan furniture after any spillage.
- Keep out of direct sunlight:
- It’s also important to know that excess sun over an extended amount of time can dry out rattan to the point of splitting and cracking.
- If this happens, apply an approved wood moisturizer to restore the furniture or at least make it less noticeable.
- Remove mold and mildew: If you experience mold or mildew on your rattan furniture you will want to remove it as soon as possible to keep it from spreading or causing damage to the rattan material. If you live in a humid area and are concerned you may encounter mildew or mold, talk to one of the knowledgeable representatives at KOZY Kingdom to learn the best ways to care for your furniture.
- Use a vacuum: The easiest way to get debris particles out of the crevices in the rattan weave is to use a vacuum with a soft brush. You will also want to vacuum any dust off the cushions.
- Rotate furniture pieces: Rattan furniture located near windows or glass doors in living rooms, sunrooms, dining rooms and bedrooms are prone to premature fading and other sun-related damage. To counteract the effects of direct sunlight on rattan, if possible, rotate the furniture on occasion so all sides of the furniture fade evenly. If rotation is not possible consider installing curtains or blinds on sunny windows to control the amount of sun exposure.
