Care Instructions
Our outdoor wicker furniture is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To keep your furniture looking its best, please follow these care guidelines:
General Care for Outdoor Wicker Furniture
Clean regularly using plenty of water and a soft brush.
Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials.
Wipe up food and drink spills immediately to prevent stains.
Do not clean wicker in direct sunlight or during hot afternoons – wash in the morning or evening for best results.
For deeper cleaning, you may rinse with mild shampoo.
Always use protective covers when the furniture is not in use for extended periods.
Store cushions indoors or replace them when not in use.
Follow fabric washing instructions carefully. Using harsh chemicals or abrasives can void fabric warranties.
