To clean and maintain woven resin on urban outdoor furniture, follow these steps for lasting beauty and durability. First, regularly remove loose dirt and debris using a soft-bristle brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment. For routine cleaning, mix a mild solution of warm water and dish soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the resin strands, following the weave's direction to prevent snagging. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose on a low-pressure setting, as high pressure can force water into the frame. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or power washers, which can damage the resin's finish.
For stubborn stains like mildew or bird droppings, use a specialized cleaner designed for synthetic wicker or a diluted vinegar solution (one part white vinegar to one part water). Apply, let sit briefly, then scrub gently with a soft brush and rinse. To maintain the material, protect furniture from extreme weather when possible with covers or by storing it during harsh seasons. While woven resin is UV-stabilized, prolonged direct sun can cause fading over time, so consider partial shading. Inspect frames and connections annually for tightness. With this simple care, your woven resin furniture will remain a stylish and functional part of your urban outdoor space for years.
