The secret recipe for maintaining rattan furniture
Rattan furniture in Chinese furniture is a kind of forest style among wooden thickets. Nowadays, this kind of rattan furniture is becoming increasingly popular. How should it be maintained?
Almost all furniture can be made of rattan, such as beds, sofas, coffee tables, etc. There are also some outdoor furniture that can reflect a leisurely rural atmosphere, such as hanging chairs and rocking chairs. The small and simple flower stands, the well-arranged wardrobes, the clearly layered bookshelves, as well as the magazine baskets, lampstands, champagne racks and so on, all make people unable to put them down
From the armrests to the backrest of the rattan chair, the fine weaving connects the elegant curves, and the rattan strips of different thicknesses, in the gradual arrangement, emphasize the leisurely rhythm and changes, making it more exquisite and smooth, demonstrating the perfect creativity and exquisite craftsmanship of the rattan designer.
What endows rattan furniture with poetry is its color. The serenity of silver-gray, the romance of bronze, the composure of reddish-brown, and the mystery of black all captivate people. And those original color rattan furniture pieces that are only coated with a layer of transparent paint and maintain the style of rattan even more reveal the beauty of simplicity and depth.
Dry weather makes vines prone to becoming brittle, and in severe cases, it can even lead to breakage. Therefore, it is very important to water the vine frequently.
Do not scrub with ordinary detergent to avoid damaging the rattan. It is best to wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. After cleaning, it must be placed in a cool place to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the paint from discoloring and cracking. For wicker woven products and finer gaps, a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush can be used to clean and replenish water.
Just frequently wipe the rattan with a light salt water solution. Not only can it remove dirt, but the salt water can also make the rattan soft and elastic. Mold is caused by long-term moisture. Wipe the moldy area clean with a soft brush and expose it to the sun for 30 minutes. If the surface of the rattan bark is scratched, apply car wax to the scratched area
From the above, it can be seen where the differences from European country furniture lie. Although only the maintenance methods of rattan furniture were mentioned, it is obvious that the requirements for European country furniture are all different. This is also a clear distinction between European furniture and Chinese furniture.
