Keeping your rattan urban outdoor furniture free from pollen and city dust requires consistent maintenance and preventive measures. Start by regularly brushing the weave with a soft-bristled brush to dislodge debris before it settles deeply. For persistent particles, use a handheld vacuum with an upholstery attachment on a low setting.
Apply a mild soap solution monthly using a soft cloth, ensuring you don't oversaturate the rattan. Always rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture damage. Consider using specially designed furniture covers during high pollen seasons or when not in use for extended periods.
For added protection, apply a UV-resistant sealant formulated for synthetic rattan every few months. This creates a barrier that prevents dust from embedding into the weave while protecting against sun damage. Position your furniture under covered areas when possible to minimize exposure to airborne particles.
Establish a weekly cleaning routine during peak pollen seasons, and your rattan furniture will maintain its appearance and durability despite urban environmental challenges.
