In most cases, there is no need to labor over cleaning your garden furniture sets, but you should be consistent and careful when treating each type of piece. In any case, you will be rewarded greatly in the end.
For one, you will save a tremendous amount of money and you will enjoy your investment for prolong time periods. The type and level of care you choose to use on each piece also may be based on whether or not it is treated or untreated. This is particularly the case when cleaning rattan collections.
Treated Rattan Care
In some situations, you can clean rattan sets with a garden hose. This is particularly evident if you own weather treated varieties of this furniture that is becoming a very preferable choice today.
Additionally, to help restore the pliable flexible nature and moisture to natural fiber seating, this natural fiber creation places can be placed in a bathtub of warm water. You also should dust it as often as you can to keep dirt from building up in the seams.
This can be accomplished with a damp rag, soft brush, or vacuum and it is recommended you do this before using a hose. Otherwise, it might cause more of a mess afterwards.
Untreated Rattan Care
The natural fiber of wicker, cane, and rush garden furniture sets tends to dry out. Therefore, keep your untreated pieces out of the sun when not in use and keep them away from move them out of other direct heat sources.
Just as you would the treated models, dust every piece thoroughly and regularly. You can also use a vacuum on these pieces, to help clean them as well. A soft dusting brush may also be very useful.
Additional Care Tips
Some items are made in part with metal materials. The cleaning procedure for these is a little bit different. For instance, if you are wiping aluminum, chrome, steel, bronze, or other metal; apply the appropriate cleaner. This will reduce risk of damage.
If your set contains at least one piece made partly with glass, rid of any excess dirt and buildup if the piece has not been cleaned in awhile. For this purpose you can use a damp sponge one the surface as well, along with plain water or some ammonia and water.
Vinegar and water may help as well. In any case, when you clean garden furniture sets made partly from glass keep in mind that it needs to be dried immediately. Also do not use too much cleaning solution.
