How can I clean my rattan furniture?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009How can I remove mold from a rattan basket?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Take the piece and seal it in a plastic bag. Put the entire bag in the freezer for 48 hours. After 48 hours remove it from the bag and dust off the frozen mold. If the piece still has residual mold, repeat the process. If the piece is too large you can wash it gently and leave it in the sun to dry completely before use. Once dry, brush the mold away.
What if it gets wet?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Rattan is grown in tropical climates so water will not destroy it, but it is best not to expose it, or any natural fiber, to excessive moisture. If your rattan gets wet, do not put any weight on it as it will deform. Let the piece dry in a sunny area. Don’t use it again until it is completely dry.
