English (Eng) - Beliani Natural Rattan Tipps Zu Reinigung Und Wartung

English (ENG)

Rattan is made from plant fibre and showcases natural flexibility and durability, at the
same time being lightweight. All of those features make the genuine rattan well-suited for
furniture production. However, it requires special care to ensure its longevity.
● We do not recommend keeping the rattan furniture outside. If you wish to use it on
your garden, on a patio or porch, remember to keep it away from the sunlight
and other heat sources (like fireplace or heater).
● Air humidifier is favoured if the air inside is dry, to make sure the furniture will not
dry out.
● Much like dry conditions, overly damp conditions are not good for rattan.
Extremely humid environments without ample lighting lead to a mustiness on the
furniture, which indicates mould or mildew. Exposure to rain or wetness over time
also damages rattan, so it is best kept indoors or in a covered, moderate location
when not in use.
● Remember about regular maintenance - dust it gently with a feather duster, or
vacuum it with an upholstery brush attachment for the main surfaces and a crevice
tool for deep, hard-to-reach areas. A slightly damp, soft cloth wiped over the rattan
gives it a general cleaning, while a bit of oil soap mixed into water clean stubborn
spots.
● When you use moisture to clean rattan, dry out the piece in a well-ventilated area,
so it does not stay wet long.
Signs of mould:
Specks indicate mould and mildew. If you see them on your furniture, wipe them away with
a sponge dipped in equal portions of bleach and water, wringing the sponge out to keep it
damp, but not soaking wet.
A toothbrush comes in handy to remove mould or mildew. Wipe down the entire piece with
a fresh damp cloth or sponge to remove any bleach residue, then allow the furniture to sit
outdoors on a dry, breezy day. Repeat the cleaning process if the furniture still shows signs
of mould or mildew.
