The Rattan furniture is highly durable. It has natural craftsmanship and is woven from completely natural rattan, so it is widely loved by many people. Rattan sofa is more expensive, thus it will inevitably be a little distressing if it is damaged, but as long as the correct methods are applied with timely cleaning and care, it can be used for decades. Here are some correct cleaning methods.

Mistake of the Cleaning of Rattan Sofa
It is wrong to use a wet cloth when cleaning the dirt on the rattan sofa, because its water stains will firmly absorb the dirt in crevices between the rattans, producing a counterproductive effect. In this way, the rattan sofa may look clean on the surface, but it actually hides the dirt in deep and hard-to-reach areas.

The following are some correct cleaning methods:

1. Use a dry cloth or feather duster to wipe some dust from the inside out.
2. Use a small household vacuum cleaner to clean the crevices of the rattan sofa thoroughly.
3. Use a soft bristle brush like a toothbrush to gently wipe away the remaining dust in the crevices.
4. Wipe the rattan sofa thoroughly with a slightly damp cloth.
5. After the surface of the rattan soft is air-dried, sand it with sandpaper to keep it as smooth as new.
6. Finally, apply a thin layer of oil, then let it air-dry in a cool place.
