Avoid direct sunlight

 

Long-term sunlight exposure, the ultraviolet rays in the sun will make the rattan degeneration and brittle, make the white rattan furniture yellow, make the red rattan furniture partially fade, and make the expensive bamboo and rattan furniture dry and loose. Translucent white tulle curtains can be used to block direct sunlight to protect rattan furniture without affecting indoor lighting.

 

Do daily cleaning

 

Rattan furniture will accumulate a lot of dust after being used for a long time. You can use a soft brush to remove the dust from the mesh from the inside to the outside. If the stain is serious, it can be wiped off with household detergent, and finally dry wiped again, and it can be cleaned.

 

Avoid proximity to fire and heat sources

 

If the rattan seat is placed close to the radiator, the rattan will become dry and brittle, and the toughness will be deteriorated, making it difficult to recover after sitting. Therefore, rattan furniture should not be close to fire and heat sources. If you want to place hot items on the rattan table, be sure to put a thermal pad.

 

Avoid moisture deformation

 

The advantage of rattan furniture is that it is fixed into its original shape after being deformed by moisture, and it will return to its original shape and size after drying or drying in the shade. Therefore, when rattan furniture sags due to moisture, it is necessary to find a way to reduce its load, support the furniture evenly, keep it in its original weave shape, and prevent the gap from being deformed.

 

Dust and pest control

 

Plants are most afraid of insects, and rattan furniture is not only afraid of insects, but also easy to accumulate dust and difficult to clean, so pay special attention when using it. You can try to wipe the rattan furniture with light salt water, which can decontaminate and keep its flexibility for a long time, and it can also prevent brittleness and insects. Use paint brushes or vacuum cleaners to clean the gaps. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents that damage the surface of rattan furniture. Do not rinse with wet towels or water.

 

How to repair rattan furniture?

 

For rolled up and damaged paint areas, use the "scrubbing" method: for the rolled up parts, you can use a liquid scrubbing agent, and let the scrubbing time be long enough, so use a brush to wipe it. But you can't scrape the surface like painted wooden furniture, make it tilted and scrub over the tightly woven parts. This is done so that the remaining liquid will flow to the looser braided areas and not collect on the tighter braided areas. After processing, it is air-dried.

 

The next step is repainting: the paint is best sprayed so that all the nooks and crannies and recesses get painted. Care should be taken to prevent the polyurethane from curing into a plastic skin, as it is hard and brittle and can cause cracks in all bends.

 

There is also a primary color refurbishment treatment: clean and repair first, then air dry. After everything is done, the outer pergola can be sanded again to make the skin completely decontaminated and smooth, and finally protected by varnish.
