Keep it beautiful for years
Rattan is low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way.
- Dust regularly with a soft brush; reach the weave with a dry paintbrush.
- Wipe with a barely-damp cloth, then dry immediately — never soak.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sun, which can dry and fade the cane.
- Avoid damp rooms for natural rattan; choose the synthetic range for bathrooms and outdoors.
- Re-oil occasionally with a furniture oil to feed the cane.
