Scottsdale Patio Furniture Manufacturer Offers Useful Advice on Maintaining Rattan Furniture!

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- Sunset Patio is a Scottsdale, Arizona, patio furniture retailer offering useful tips to help clients keep their rattan patio furniture looking like new for years to come. Rattan is a beautiful, lightweight, and durable material used to make all types of furniture, including patio furniture. Rattan is a smart choice in patio furniture because it is eco-friendly and easy to maintain. Sunset Patio offers advice to help clients maintain the beauty of their rattan furniture.

To keep it looking like new, rattan furniture should be cleaned both weekly and annually. For the weekly routine, add a small amount of dish washing detergent to a pail of water and wipe the surface of the furniture with a soft cloth. Avoid overly soaking the wood. For the grooves and chinks, use a toothbrush or other soft brush to gently clean. This quick, weekly cleaning is the best way to preserve rattan furniture all year long. Once a year, rattan furniture should be thoroughly cleaned using more water than is used for the weekly cleaning. Once the rattan has thoroughly dried, a layer of lacquer should be applied to seal and protect the wood. Rattan furniture can withstand a certain amount of moisture, but should be placed indoors during the winter months or during a downpour.

Stains and major damage should be dealt with immediately to prevent permanent damage. To treat stains, scrub the surface of rattan furniture with a soft, wet cloth. For splits and cracks, applying boiled linseed oil can help repair the wood. To prevent splitting and cracking, use protective rubber stoppers on the legs of rattan furniture and avoid dragging when moving it. These simple tips can help keep your rattan patio furniture looking like new. For more information on rattan patio furniture, visit http://www.sunsetpatios.com.
