Care of your wicker outdoor furniture

Before using your wicker terrace furniture, it is advisable to treat it.

Step-by-step plan for initial treatment

1. Proper Preparation
   It is advisable to wipe them down with a soft cloth to remove dust and any residues from production or transport.

2. Treatment
   For extra protection, you can apply a light coating or a specialised protective spray for synthetic wicker. This helps keep dirt and moisture out and extends the lifespan of your furniture.

In the hospitality industry, wicker patio furniture is exposed to spills, crumbs, and wear on a daily basis. With a few simple routines, you can keep it well maintained.

Step-by-step maintenance plan in use

1. Regular Wiping: Wipe your wicker furniture regularly with a soft cloth or brush to remove dust and loose dirt particles.

2. Avoid Harsh Cleaners and Abrasive Brushes: These can damage the wicker.

3. Stain Removal: Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth, and use a soft brush or sponge with lukewarm water and a mild cleaner for tougher dirt. Avoid scrubbing with hard brushes or abrasive products, as this can damage the wicker’s structure. Always rinse thoroughly after cleaning and allow the furniture to dry completely.

When your wicker furniture has been heavily used or shows visible dirt, a deep cleaning is recommended.

Step-by-step plan for large maintenance

1. Thorough Cleaning: Use a soft brush and a specialised cleaner for synthetic wicker to remove stubborn dirt from between the weaves. Rinse the furniture thoroughly with clean water afterward and allow it to dry completely.

2. Aftercare: Apply a protective coating afterward to shield the material again from moisture, dirt, and UV exposure.

To keep your wicker terrace furniture looking its best and as good as new for as long as possible, regular maintenance is essential. Avoid direct contact with sharp objects and always clean up spills immediately. Store outdoor furniture during the winter or use a protective cover to shield it from extreme weather conditions. With proper care, wicker furniture remains stylish, comfortable, and weather-resistant for many years.
