Keeping your woven urban outdoor furniture from snagging on clothes requires proper maintenance and preventive measures. Start by regularly brushing your furniture with a soft-bristle brush to remove debris and prevent rough spots from developing. For synthetic wicker or rattan pieces, apply a UV protectant spray every few months to maintain material flexibility and prevent cracking that can lead to snags.
Always check for loose strands or broken fibers along the weaving pattern. Use sharp scissors to carefully trim any protruding elements rather than pulling them, which could worsen the problem. For deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water and a soft cloth instead of abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface.
Consider using outdoor furniture covers when not in use, particularly during harsh weather conditions. For frequently used pieces, adding thin cushioning or outdoor throws can create a protective barrier between the furniture surface and clothing. If snagging persists, specialized furniture wax or sealant designed for outdoor woven materials can help smooth the surface.
Regular inspection and immediate attention to potential problem areas will help maintain your furniture's appearance while protecting your clothing from unwanted snags during outdoor relaxation.
