Maintaining contemporary wicker
The new styles of woven plastic outdoor furniture require very little maintenance. Look for brands made from plastic rattan or plastic resin with an aluminum metal frame. The best way to clean such furniture is to periodically use a solution of mild detergent and water. After cleaning, be sure to rinse and dry each piece of furniture thoroughly. And once the furniture is dry, use a silicone lubricant on all hinges rather than oil - as oil tends to cake and attract dirt. Window to the Past
