Outdoor Rattan Set can transform your patio into an outdoor entertainment center, perfect for garden parties and private retreats. While these pieces are designed to withstand the beating sun and pouring rain, harsh outdoor elements can damage furniture.
Pressing too hard while cleaning the slats of your wicker furniture increases the risk of breaking it. If you discover broken or damaged pieces, use wood glue to fix them. Allow the glue to dry before continuing any cleaning.
If you can’t fix the damage, take it to a professional for repair. Avoid using anything harsh or abrasive on wicker, such as stiff brushes or steel wool. These products remove the protective finish of lacquered pieces and damage unfinished wicker beyond repair.
To prevent spotting or other deformities, never allow water to pool or thoroughly saturate natural wicker furniture. Use needle-nosed pliers or a pair of tweezers to remove large pieces of debris stuck inside the wicker. Wash up any spills when they occur using a damp cloth and a mild soap.
To protect your wicker furniture, use specially formulated wax, varnish, or lacquer. Linseed or lemon oil also protects wicker and restores its shine. For outdoor wicker use a lacquer designed for weatherproofing.
How To Treat Your Outdoor Rattan Garden Furniture
Your rattan furniture needs a little TLC from time-to-time and there are three easy ways you can help its lifespan in your garden.
Staining the Material
If the finish on your rattan furniture looks faded or dull, you can stain it to restore the shine and colour. Depending on how much you need to do it can take a few days, but the end result is worth it. Follow the instructions laid out by the staining product and apply it directly to the rattan, before letting it rest and wiping off any remnants to reveal a reinvigorated material underneath.
Polish Up the Surface
After staining your outdoor rattan garden furniture, it pays to add an extra sheen to the finish. By using liquid wax you can give the material the perfect polish to bring back the vibrancy and energy of your furniture. It only has to be done once a year as it will last for months to come.
Weatherproof Your Furniture
Rattan comes from hot tropical rain forests and when alive as a vine can adapt to sudden changes to the weather. When made into furniture it retains much of its weatherproof qualities but needs a little helping hand along the way. Applying a hardwood garden furniture treatment once a year will help protect against harsher rain elements so it can brush off the sun, rain, wind and snow thrown at it by the British weather.
