How to Keep Your Outdoor Wicker Furniture Clean

Wicker furniture is easy to clean and will help it look great year after year. Here are some tips for keeping your outdoor wicker furniture in the best shape possible.

Things You'll Need

• Pressure washer or hose
• Soap
• Sponge
• Bucket

Instructions

1. If you are lucky enough to own a pressure washer, cleaning your wicker furniture should be one easy step. Remove any cushions and let the pressure washer do the work for you.

2. If you don't own a pressure washer, a garden hose will work too. After removing the cushions, spray the wicker furniture thoroughly untill all dirt is gone.

3. If your furniture is really dirty, a hose might not be sufficient. In this case, mix some soap with cold water in a bucket. A mild dishwashing liquid is great for this project. Use a sponge on the spot where the hose did not remove the dirt. Rinse the furniture thoroughly.

4. It is always important to let the furniture completely dry before putting any cushions back on it. This will help to protect the furniture as well as the cushions you are using on it.

Tips & Warnings

• Remove cushions and cover your furniture during times when the furniture is not in use. This will help keep it cleaner longer.

• A paste wax is available for wicker furniture. Applying this can protect your furniture from water and keep it looking newer.
