How to look after your rattan furniture

The great thing about the natural rattan material is that it can easily be maintained meaning that it can last many years, even decades. We recommend to simply clean with a dry cloth to get rid of any dust. It is important that if the frame of your furniture does get wet, please dry thoroughly to avoid any mould appearing.

Another great thing about rattan furniture is that is a natural product so is used to being in the sun, hence why it is a great option for a conservatory, orangery or summerhouse. Like any furniture or fabric though, there will be some discolouration over time in sun hot spots so we do recommend to occasionally move your furniture around and rotate cushions.

The majority of our conservatory cushions are made with removable cushion covers so is easy to clean. There will be a care label inside but all of our fabrics are either machine washable or dry clean only. We also have some specialist Aquaclean fabrics which are stain resistant and any marks can be cleaned with water.

We have a wonderful relationship with our supplier having worked with them for many years. Our rattan is sourced from Indonesia, and is all hand-made whilst we work closely with them to ensure a fair trade policy.

The rattan plant is like bamboo but more durable and can worked into beautiful shapes. After it’s harvested, it’s then cut to 13 foot and left in the sun to dry out. Then the inner fibres are removed and used to make our furniture.

Our rattan specialists ensure that our furniture is always made to the very highest standards. Our rattan furniture is all handmade, so every piece is as unique as you are.

How to look after your outdoor rattan furniture

Unlike natural rattan, outdoor rattan is made from a synthetic material in order to combat the elements of a British summer. The beauty of this is that it is also easy to look after with the frames being able to be left outside all year round. You can easily clean marks off the frames with water and for any tougher marks, you can you use a hose pipe or jet wash.

You can but we would always advise against this due to the plastic material of outdoor rattan furniture. Your conservatory or summerhouse can get to high temperatures which can cause a split in the weave so we would always recommend to put natural rattan furniture in these areas for a more durable solution.

Although it is best protecting under an outdoor cover, the frames of your outdoor furniture can be left outside in the sun, rain and snow do to it's weather resistant material. We also recommend to make sure that your outdoor rattan is dry before covering/

To clean our cushions, we recommend a simple hand wash with warm soapy water and a clean cloth. Our cushions are not machine washable and cannot be tumble dried.

How to look after your outdoor fabric furniture

Our outdoor fabric is designed with hardwearing properties that allows it to be easily cleaned. For any stains, you can use warm soapy water or a even a jet wash. Just ensure that it is all dry before covering up.

The simple answer is yes! The water resistant fabric and quick dry foam allows you to leave your furniture outside all year round. However, we do recommend using a cover when not in use to avoid getting any unwanted marks from above and for that extra protection from the British weather! Please ensure that the fabric is fully dry before covering.
