Care & Maintenance For Furniture
Outdoor Furniture / Wicker Furniture Maintenance
Our outdoor wicker furniture is designed for easy maintenance. Follow these simple steps to keep it looking its best:
- Cleaning: Use plenty of water and a soft brush to gently clean your outdoor wicker furniture. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives, which can damage the material.
- Stain Prevention: Quickly clean up any spilled food or drinks to prevent permanent stains.
- Temperature Considerations: Do not clean outdoor wicker furniture in direct sunlight on hot days. For best results, clean in the morning or evening, and rinse with a mild shampoo for an extra fresh finish.
- Storage Tips: When not in use for extended periods, cover the furniture to protect it from the elements. Replace cushions when not in use.
- Fabric Care: Follow washing instructions carefully for outdoor fabrics. Aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives can void the fabric warranty.
