How do I take care of my products?
Rattan is a natural durable material that will last for years with a basic level of TLC.
- Clean rattan gently with a small amount of water but do NOT soak it. Dust the furniture regularly with a soft cloth and never use paint thinners or abrasive creams to clean rattan. Use a soft toothbrush or something similar to clean out crevices.
- If you stain your rattan, use a detergent and a harsh cloth to remove the stain as soon as it happens. Be aware that stains can soak into rattan very quickly.
- If you spot a split or crack appear, apply a small amount of linseed oil or a wood moisturiser to help the rattan recover. Please bear in mind it will not repair the cracks/splits but the material might swell slightly and become more flexible so that they become less obvious, it will also give it a beautiful lustre.
If you keep on top of cleaning your rattan furniture it will last much longer and will avoid a build-up which would lead to more vigorous cleaning.
We strongly recommend you use your rattan furniture indoors as rattan is not waterproof or sun proof and will most definitely get damaged if left outside for long periods of time.
When moving your rattan furniture around, please lift it up rather than drag it as that can cause the fibres to split.
