URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Synthetic rattan outdoor furniture is prized for its durability and low maintenance compared to natural materials. However, a simple care routine will significantly extend its lifespan and keep it looking its best. The primary maintenance task is regular cleaning. Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush with a mild solution of warm water and a few drops of gentle dish soap. Wipe down the frames to remove dust, pollen, and general dirt. For stubborn spots, a more concentrated soap solution can be applied. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water using a damp cloth or a gentle hose spray to remove any soap residue, which can attract more dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or pressure washers, as these can damage the synthetic wicker fibers. For general upkeep, it's advisable to cover your furniture with breathable, waterproof covers during prolonged harsh weather or when not in use for long periods, especially in winter. While synthetic rattan is designed to withstand sun and rain, this provides an extra layer of protection. If your furniture has removable cushions, store them indoors when wet and clean them according to the manufacturer's label. For furniture on wheels, occasionally check and clean the wheel mechanisms. By following these straightforward steps—gentle cleaning, thorough rinsing, and protective covering—your synthetic rattan furniture will remain a stylish and comfortable part of your outdoor living space for many seasons.
