Exterior furnishing is not an easy task, espcially when it comes to materials. We might all want a kind of Outdoor Rattan Set that is easy to maintain or rearrange, lasts for years and, of course, with the most reasonable cost possible. Among various types of materials available, wood and synthetic rattan appear to be the two most popular. But “Which suits my exterior space best?”, you might be wondering. Don’t worry, Let’s find out with Outdoor Synthetic Rattan Furniture Supplier: We are going to do some comparisions between wood and synthetic rattan outdoor furniture based on several factors so that you can make a wise choice.
Wood
Not all woods are created equal, but if there’s one common benefit to all wood patio furniture, it’s the ageless appeal of its natural beauty. Pine, cedar, or fir are softer woods with some degree of natural weather resistance; hardwoods such as shorea and teak boast exceptional durability and performance.
Benefits:
Lends a warm, casual feel to any outdoor space
Acacia and cedar offer some natural weather resistance at a great value
Teak provides incomparable durability that will last a lifetime if cared for properly
Withstands: Rain (if sealed properly), sunlight, humidity, wind, and extreme temperatures
Care Tips:
Always use coasters, pads or felt to avoid the appearance of moisture rings and heat marks
Sealing with varnishes or stains can help prevent warping in humid climates
If sealed wood, clean with a mild soapy water mixture to remove dirt, dust and pollen
If painted wood, avoid exposure to moisture, clean with a damp cloth
For untreated wood, keep out of rain and direct sunlight to preserve quality – clean with lightly damp cloth
In conclusion, while wood is stronger, outdoor Plastic Rattan Set performs better in terms of weather resistance. Cost differences are variable and usually, wicker is cheapler than wood. Each type of material has different styles to go for and the choice is up to you!

Luckily, our Plastic Rattan Set are designed to require little to no maintenance and are incredibly quick and easy to wash. The materials we use on our rattan garden furniture sets are especially developed and chosen to ensure easy care and maintenance. PE rattan is a synthetic type of rattan which means that you don’t need to worry about it fading away or cracking when you wash it and the aluminium frame is also rust free.
Remove Dust
Use a microfiber or disposable duster or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush to dust the entire surface of rattan furniture. This will prevent excessive soil build-up in the weaving.
Mix dishwashing liquid with a gallon of warm water
The amount I go with usually is ¼ cup of dishwashing liquid and a gallon of warm water. When water is warm, it is much more effective at cleaning than cold water. Make sure that you mix those two up by stirring them. It is best to use a bucket because you are probably going to move it around. One bucket should be more than enough to clean your entire bistro set or furniture set.
Dip your soft brush into the bucket and start cleaning
I have found some articles online that are suggesting that you use a toothbrush for this. Well, I have tried cleaning one chair with a toothbrush and the other with a much larger soft brush. Guess what? There was a big difference in the time that it took me to clean one single chair. But speaking of cleaning them, there was not so much difference. In fact, when I tried to do the process with a toothbrush the chair got dry before I could finish so it was left with spots on it.
My conclusion? Don’t be stupid enough to use a toothbrush. Having a much larger soft brush will make your process much shorter and your furniture a bit cleaner.
Rinse your rattan furniture again
There is nothing much to say here. Use your water hose and set it on spraying just like at the first step. Make sure that your table, chairs, etc. don’t get dry before you are finished with this step. If they get dry while there is still soap on them then you will end up with spots on your furniture. Again it is best to clean your rattan in the shades if it is sunny outside.
Leave to dry
Now it is time to let your furniture dry out in the sun. Some people use cloths to wipe it and make the process faster but I think that it is perfectly fine to just leave it out in the sun. While you are waiting for your rattan furniture to dry you can clean your cushions if you have any.
Keeping your outdoor rattan furniture clean, covering it in wet or windy weather, providing a surface protectant, and storing it indoors in winter are the best ways to weatherproof your furniture and extend its life in your outdoor landscape.

Caring for your rattan furniture cushions.
If you use seat covers and cushions on your rattan furniture, make sure to regularly wash them to keep them in a good condition. It is also advised that you keep the cushions and seating covers inside when you are not using them. Our cushions are easily removed as they are zipped for ease of use. Use your normal household products such as vanish for stain removal on cushion covers.
Removing stains and mould from your furniture. It is important to avoid spilling anything on your rattan dining sets when eating alfresco. That said it is inevitable that spillages will happen and the good news is that all weather rattan can be easily wiped clean. If you do accidentally spill something on your natural rattan furniture, take care of it as soon as possible to avoid the liquid soaking into your furniture and staining it. If you do notice stains on your furniture or mildew (brown mould spots that do not come off with soap and water) try mixing a solution of bleach and water together. You will need to scrub your furniture, but be careful not to damage the weave. If this doesn't work, you may need to drip a Q-tip in bleach and apply it directly to the stains.
Repairing rattan furniture.
Extreme heat and direct sunlight can cause traditional rattan furniture to split and crack. The best way to avoid this is to keep you natural rattan furniture in a protected and shaded area. If you notice that this has already happened to your furniture, you can try using boiled linseed oil to repair it. Always buy boiled linseed oil from your local DIY store. Do not try boiling linseed oil yourself, as it is highly flammable. Apply a thin layer of the oil to your furniture and wait for it to dry. You can then re-apply more layers, buffing your furniture with a cloth and letting it dry in between.
Stop when you start to notice the oil is not sinking into the furniture as it was in the beginning. Thats when you will have applied enough of it. Whilst the boiled linseed oil will not actually fill in the cracks and splits, it will moisten the rattan and cause it to expand. Thus making the damage less noticeable. It also provides a shiny finish that will add to the furniture's stylish aesthetics. If you notice the weaving on your furniture is looking a little loose, you may be able to gently put it back in place with your fingers. One of the best ways to avoid loosening the weave of your furniture is to avoid using it when it is damp. If you sit on your rattan chairs before they are fully dry, the weight of your body can cause the seats to sag.
Using boiled linseed oil on your furniture can help to soften the rattan, preventing further cracking. It will also cause the rattan to expand which will help to disguise any existing cracks and splits in the weaves. In worst-case scenarios, you can have your furniture repaired by professionals. However you have to consider the costs. Would it be cheaper to have your garden furniture repaired or would it be more cost effective to buy a new set?
Durable and weatherproof synthetic rattan furniture
Rattan garden furniture is made from synthetic fibers that have stronger and more durable properties than natural rattan or wicker. This makes synthetic rattan garden furniture equipped for the outdoors and extreme weather conditions.
Rattan furniture requires regular dusting and cleaning in order to keep it in a good condition. Luckily it is very easy to clean and will not take you very long at all.
