Wicker

Natural Wicker

• Using a can of compressed air, or a compressor, gently blow dirt and particles out of crevices. A dry toothbrush can be used for tricky areas.
• With regular dusting and wiping, your piece will remain clean, however if for any reason it becomes grimy, a mild, oil based soap diluted with warm water will remove grime from furniture. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Synthetic Wicker

• Use a mild detergent mixed with water and clean with a soft cloth. Air dry.

Natural Wicker

• Act quickly and blot any stains immediately with an absorbent cloth.
• For water-based stains, mix a mild detergent with water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently blot the stained area. Be cautious not to saturate the rattan excessively.
• For stubborn stains, you can try using a paste made of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Synthetic Wicker

• Synthetic wicker will not stain easily; however, you must clean stains before they dry.
• For any damages such as loose strands or unravelling, the piece should be taken to a professional sooner rather than later to prevent further damage.

• Make vacuuming and dusting a routine, and it will avoid longer cleaning times due to dust and grime buildup.
• Inspect occasionally for any snags or broken pieces. If so, consult with a professional. Ignoring this will only make it get worse rapidly.
