How To Care for Wicker Furniture

The best way to care for wicker furniture is to regularly dust it with a horsehair brush. If you spill any liquids on your wicker furniture clean them as quickly as possibly with warm water mixed with a little dish detergent. Although wicker is used frequently as indoor furniture it can quickly dry out in this environment. Wicker furniture can actually benefit from a humid environment. Moving indoor wicker furniture outdoors under a covered porch will help to keep the wicker from drying out. Absent moving the furniture you should occasionally run a damp rag over the wicker to help with keeping the fibers moisturized. If you keep your wicker furniture outdoors you can buy some wicker furniture covers to keep it from being destroyed by the elements. Try to give your wicker furniture a good thorough cleaning at least once a year. Washing with warm soapy water followed by a gentle rinse from your garden hose will help keep it in good condition. Give your wicker furniture the care it deserves and it will serve you well for many years.
