How to Care for Your Wicker Furniture
Wicker patio furniture remains a popular choice for many outdoor spaces. Sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, wicker furniture complements a variety of different décor styles. However, wicker requires a little extra upkeep to ensure it stays as beautiful as the day you purchased it. Check out our tips and tricks to help you keep your wicker furniture looking like new!
Caring for Resin Wicker Furniture
Resin wicker naturally resists the elements better than wicker made from organic plant fibers. The smooth, hard surface of resin wicker allows it to easily repel dirt and stains. Although resin wicker remains durable, the following tips will allow you to greatly extend the life of your furniture:
- Move wicker furniture under cover or inside during inclement weather if possible
- If you cannot move furniture indoors, consider investing in patio furniture covers
- Avoid direct contact with chlorine and saltwater
- If near saltwater, rinse your furniture weekly
- Keep furniture a safe distance away from open flames or artificial heat
Cleaning Resin Wicker Furniture
Cleaning your wicker patio furniture is inexpensive and, if cared for properly, will not be time-consuming. Follow these simple steps and have your furniture looking good as new!
- Remove cushions and fabric seat covers and clean separately
- Use a vacuum or a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt or debris caught between the wicker
- Prepare warm water and non-bleach detergent or mild dish soap (no abrasive cleaners!)
- Scrub all surfaces with soft-bristled brush or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean water
- Let furniture air dry completely (preferably in filtered sunlight or partial shade)
