Metal

1. Protect from Moisture: Moisture is metal furniture’s worst enemy. Make sure to keep your metal furniture dry and protect it from rain, humidity, spills, and watermarks.
2. Clean Regularly: Clean your metal furniture regularly to remove dirt, dust, and grime. Use a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals that may scratch or damage the metal.
3. Spot Treat Stains: If your metal furniture has any stains or marks, spot-treat them immediately. Use a soft cloth and gentle cleaning solution to wipe away the blemish. For stubborn stains, you can use a non-abrasive metal cleaner to restore shine.
4. Polish for Shine: Metal furniture can lose its luster over time. To restore its shine and protect it from oxidation, polish the metal periodically. You can use a commercial metal polish or make a DIY solution using vinegar and baking soda. Apply the polish with a soft cloth and buff it in with circular motions.
5. Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect your metal furniture for any signs of damage or corrosion. If you notice any rust, chips, or dents, address them immediately before they worsen. You can use touch-up paint, rust inhibitors, or replace the damaged parts to maintain the integrity of the metal furniture.

Rattan & Cane

Keep rattan chairs and furniture away from extreme heat situations and areas with low humidity. These conditions could cause the cane to dry out and become brittle and break. Also direct sunlight or high heat areas should be avoided. Consider using a humidifier in the winter which can be especially helpful to keep the air moist and not too dry. Using a high-oil content furniture polish product when you dust helps to keep the cane supple and prevent brittle breakages. Please ask our Sales Consultants in store about available oil polishes.
