Your rattan care guide

To ensure that your beloved pieces stand the test of time, we've put together a comprehensive guide on how to care for your rattan furniture with the same love and attention to detail that went into creating them.

Preservation tips

Extend the life and beauty of your pieces
Embrace the natural beauty

The allure of rattan furniture lies in its natural aesthetics, including unique marks and burrs. To maintain that stunning, organic appeal, wipe down your furniture regularly with a soft, damp cloth. This simple act helps remove dust and prevents it from settling into the intricate weaves.

Gentle cleansing rituals

Give your rattan furniture a spa day every now and then. Mix a small amount of mild soap with water, dampen a soft cloth in the solution, and gently wipe the surfaces. This will not only cleanse your furniture but also nourish the rattan, keeping it supple and vibrant.

Shield from the elements

While our rattan furniture is designed to add charm to both indoor and covered outdoor spaces, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can affect its longevity. For outdoor pieces, we recommend using furniture covers during rainy weather or bringing them inside to protect them.

Love from the sun

Rattan adores the sun but in moderation. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight may cause the material to dry out and lose its natural flexibility. Position your furniture strategically, and if possible, rotate it occasionally to ensure an even tan for all parts.

Humidity is the key

Rattan thrives in a humid environment. If you live in a drier climate, consider using a humidifier or placing a bowl of water near your furniture to prevent it from drying out. This simple hack will maintain the flexibility of the rattan and keep it looking as good as new.

Handle with care

Though rattan is a durable material, it's always best to treat it with a touch of tenderness. Avoid excessive weight and sudden impacts. When moving furniture, lift it gently rather than dragging it, to prevent any undue stress on the joints and weaves.

Routine check-ups

Like any treasured possession, your rattan furniture deserves regular check-ups. Inspect for loose weaves, tighten screws if necessary, and address any minor issues as soon as you can to prevent them from becoming bigger concerns.
