Rattan is a plant that is native to the tropical areas in Asia, Africa, and Australasia. Indonesia supplies 70% of rattan in the world, and the largest rattan industry in the country is located in Cirebon, West Java. This material has uncommon characteristics such as durability, light weight, and flexibility, which is why it can easily be transformed into practical everyday objects such as walking canes, basket, and furniture. Besides wood furniture, rattan furniture can add an extra exotic aura into your home. Similar to wood, rattan can also be coated with wood stains, varnish, and paints. Therefore, rattan furniture or rattan garden furniture is available in many different colors. However, it usually comes in its natural color, and coated with clear varnish. Another good thing about it is that it does not require a lot of maintenance. You can maintain the beauty and the quality of our furniture by following the tips below:

Since furniture made from rattan has many crevices, cleaning it can be a difficult task. Use mild cleaner diluted in water. Lightly wet a soft cloth with the solution and wipe away dirt or stains. Keep in mind not to over-wet the cloth as you will need to clean the surfaces without actually soaking the rattan. You can also remove dust with a vacuum cleaner beforehand. To clean stubborn dirt in the crevices, you can use a used toothbrush. Do not clean the rattan with detergent too often since it can damage the lacquer coating.

Regularly Clean the Surface

At least every year, do a major cleaning of your

rattan furniture. Remove the accumulated dirt to

prevent damages. Clean the rattan with more water

than you use for daily cleaning and remove the dirt

with a soft brush.

Afterwards, dry it as quickly as possible using a hair

dryer or put it outside but not under direct sunlight.

Re-varnish your furniture with shellac or lacquer to

protect it from water and make it look as good as

new.

Place the Furniture Indoors

Rattan furniture is actually not really suitable for outdoor use, because it will lose its durability to weather and sunlight. The best way to maintain the durability of your rattan furniture is by placing it in your home and not under direct sunlight. Also make sure you keep the balance of the humidity of your home. The Low humidity makes the material dry and brittle, while extreme moisture provides the ideal environment for mold to grow.
