Longevity

We did say these points would be in no form of hierarchy but it's hard not to see this as one of the most important reasons to invest in synthetic rattan. Artificially produced rattan furniture has a much longer lifespan than its authentic counterpart. In our more in-depth blog post, we mentioned that synthetic garden furniture could last anywhere between 10 and 20 years.

DURABLE

Rattan also lasts a long time. This is because of not only its strength as a material, but also in the way that it is processed and used in making furniture. By combining and ‘knotting’ the canes together, the strength of the material is increased, making it incredibly durable and robust.

Weather proof

Speaking of bad weather, high grade rattan furniture can withstand all types of weather systems. Therefore you don't have to rush outdoors to put away your rattan garden furniture during a surprise rainstorm. On top of being waterproof, resin weave rattan garden furniture is also resistant to UV rays. Keep in mind that your cushions might not be waterproof, just the rattan material itself.

Strength

Now, this next point may come as a surprise to some of you but synthetic rattan is a lot stronger than the real version. This is due to the fact that it is man-made and so doesn't contain those natural fibres that can sometimes be the downfall of authentic rattan. This is another reason that synthetic furniture will last much longer as it is less prone to damage!

Lightweight

That being said, synthetic rattan furniture is a lot more lightweight than real rattan. You will find it very easy to move it around if you fancy rearranging your garden or the format of your furniture. (Did you know all of our rattan garden furniture sets are completely modular? This means you can customise the layout so your specific preference.)

Cheaper to buy

Of course, it's a no-brainer that an artificial version of a material can be cheaper. This is the same across any industry from wood to fur. However, this can really make a difference to families who might not have the budget for real rattan but would love to achieve that beautiful look in their own garden.

Easy to maintain

Rattan is easy to maintain, especially when compared to other wood furniture currently in the market. You don't need any fancy wood cleaner to ensure that your rattan furniture stays clean. Simply use a soft washcloth and regular dishwashing soap to clean as needed. You should also use a small brush to get at the little nooks and crannies that are difficult to clean with your washcloth.

Rattan furniture has long been a common type of furniture that continues to be preferred by many. No matter what your reason may be for choosing rattan or rattan-inspired furniture, make sure that you put careful thought and consideration to your choice.

Cleaning Indoor Wicker Furniture

If you will be cleaning indoor wicker furniture, here are the things that you should do:

Using a vacuum that features a dust attachment, remove as much dust as you can from the furniture. A good vacuum cleaner will get rid of most of the dust and you will instantly see how your wicker furniture looks a lot better and how just vacuuming away the dust first significantly cuts your cleaning time.

You do not need to use branded or commercial cleaning aids or solutions during this process. All you need is a combination of 1 gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of ammonia. If this is not enough, you can just mix another gallon of water with the same amount of ammonia.

Limit your water usage. You should not pour, splash, or scoop the water directly onto the Insahre furniture . Never drench it in water since doing this will ruin your beautiful wicker furniture. What you need to do is to put your water-ammonia solution in a separate bucket, soak the clean cloth with it, and then wash and clean as you go. If you absolutely must, you can hose it down, but make sure that you dry it off as quickly as possible with clean absorbent cloths or towels.

Dry the wicker furniture off as soon as you are done cleaning it, even if you didn’t have to hose it down. If you leave it wet for too long, your furniture will become too limp, and you won’t be able to use it again. If during the cleaning process, it becomes too wet, you can still just dry it off with clean and dry cloth or towels.

TEAK

Teak furniture is not only durable, but it also requires little maintenance, making it a popular choice with consumers. Regular cleaning ensures your furniture will not fall victim to discoloration or mildew.

To keep teak in good condition, use a simple solution of one cup of vinegar in one gallon of warm water and scrub the wood with a soft plastic brush. Allow the vinegar solution to rest on the wood for roughly 15 minutes and then rinse clean with water.

WROUGHT IRON

Wrought iron furniture is extremely durable, needing to be cleaned only once every few months. Spray the Insahre furniture with your hose or power washer to get rid of dirt and grime. Using a drop or two of mild dish soap on a sponge, clean your furniture in circular motions and re-apply the soap as needed. Spray furniture clean using your hose and allow to air dry. Chips or rust can be fixed with some sandpaper and a new coat of paint.

RATTAN

Rattan, like wicker, is best cleaned with natural dish soap. Add a small amount of the soap to warm water and mix until frothy bubbles form. Dip a soft cloth into the bubbles, but not the water, and wipe down your furniture. You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in the suds to clean any nooks or crannies. Allow the furniture to dry thoroughly in the sun. Once dry, you can apply lacquer to your furniture for extra protection.

PLASTIC

The most affordable of all outdoor furniture options, plastic needs more care than you might think. Regular cleaning and care is necessary to avoid discoloration. You can use a vinegar-water solution or mild dish soap and water, depending on your preference. Start by hosing the furniture down and then, using a sponge, scrub with the solution of your choice. Dry the furniture with a towel or cloth to avoid water spots. To add a little luster, spray with WD-40 and wipe with a soft cloth.

Protecting your rattan furniture

It is recommended that you thoroughly clean your rattan furniture once a month. Vacuum cleaning it every week will be enough to keep the dust at bay. Every now and then after you have cleaned your rattan dining table and chairs, it is recommended that you apply a coat of a lacquer. You can do this with a paintbrush and it will not take very long at all. Applying a lacquer will provide added protection, helping to keep your rattan furniture in tip top condition. You should only need to apply a lacquer to your rattan furniture once a year. You should be able to pick up a good quality lacquer at your local DIY store.

If you want to make sure your furniture stands the test of time, whilst also retaining its quality aesthetics, you may want to consider applying a layer of lemon oil to it. Simply apply the lemon oil lightly over your furniture using a soft cloth. This will not only protect your rattan furniture, but enhance its shine too!
