Maintenance of your cane furniture is fairly easy. You can just wipe it with a dry cloth to keep it in the best condition. Only use a slightly damp cloth to remove spillages. If your furniture is really dirty you may find it beneficiary to hose it down, but make sure you dry your furniture properly! Check with the manufacturer if this method is suitable for your furniture.
The cushions of cane furniture, if used in conservatories, can be susceptible to fading. Turning the cushions regularly and having blinds put up in your conservatory will help slowing down the fading process. Also, make sure that when you buy your conservatory furniture, you will be able to wash or dry-clean the cushion covers.
Something else that can occur with any woven furniture is that the seating or the backing can damage. If the seating of your chair is damaged, you can take it to a cane repair shop. It is much cheaper to repair it than to buy a new chair! Just look in the yellow pages under 'cane furniture repair' or 'wicker repair'. Also have a look online as you may find someone there that can do the work for you. |
