How To Care For Your Cane Furniture
When choosing items to furnish your conservatory, cane furniture will likely spring to mind. The popular material is lightweight, eco-friendly and durable. However, like all furniture, it can suffer from wear and tear.
In order to keep your cane furniture looking as good as new for years to come, you may need to carry out some regular maintenance, just as you would in any other part of the home.
How should I clean cane furniture?
First of all, you should vacuum your furniture with a soft brush attachment once a week. Then, once a month, you should carry out a deeper clean post vacuum.
You will need to mix washing-up liquid with lukewarm water to create a soapy mixture. Then wipe down your cane furniture with a damp cloth, being careful not to get it too wet. If there are any hard to reach areas we suggest you use a toothbrush.
Once finished, dry it with a cloth and avoid using the furniture until it is completely dry. We recommend cleaning it on a brighter day so it will dry faster.
How do you restore cushions on cane furniture?
Cane conservatory furniture can last decades if you look after it properly, however your cushions might start to look a little drab, faded or just plain outdated. If you’re looking to spruce them up, you can easily cover the cushions with a brand-new fabric in an interesting pattern that’s to your taste.
We recommend you use 2 pieces of fabric that are cut to be 3 inches wider and longer than your cushion. Place temporary pins in the material placed around your cushions and then remove the cushion before sewing along the pins. If you would prefer to avoid a sewing needle, you can use Fabri-Tac.
What’s the difference between cane and rattan?
Rattan and cane are both made from the rattan tree, however cane is a much thinner material and is stripped from the bark. Cane is more water-resistant because it is less porous than rattan.
Wicker furniture can be made out of both rattan and cane furniture, as well as many other durable materials like bamboo, as it refers to the method of weaving, rather than a specific material.
Where can you use cane furniture?
You can use cane furniture anywhere in the home, but most homeowners like to use it in their conservatory and outdoor spaces. It is designed to provide comfort and introduce a classic, relaxed style.
