Keeping the woven texture of your urban outdoor furniture clean requires proactive care and regular maintenance. Start by brushing the surface weekly with a soft-bristle brush to remove loose dirt and debris before it becomes embedded. For routine cleaning, mix mild dish soap with warm water, gently scrub with a soft cloth, and always rinse thoroughly. Allow the furniture to dry completely in the sun to prevent mildew.
Applying a specialized protector spray designed for synthetic wicker or natural rattan creates an invisible barrier against stains and moisture. During harsh weather or when not in use for extended periods, use breathable, waterproof furniture covers. Avoid placing furniture directly under trees where bird droppings or sap are likely to fall. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied. With these consistent steps, you can preserve the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your woven outdoor pieces with minimal effort.
