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.
