How To Cover Rattan Furniture

At Chimes, we supply a range of rattan garden furniture to homeowners in Essex. Rattan is a durable material that stays protected against the worst weather conditions. However, you might want to know how to cover this furniture up during the worst conditions. Read on to find out more.

Keep the Furniture Clean 

At Chimes, we offer rattan furniture for your home. Because you might go for outdoor furniture, a lot of time outside, so during this time, it will pick up plenty of dirt and algae from the outdoors. Because of the unpredictable weather, it will also get rained on, so it’s essential to keep dry as well.

 Rattan furniture can be difficult to clean, so one of the methods is to get a toothbrush to scrape the hard bits. Alternatively, use a damp cloth and soapy water which will clean the mould off. It is essential to give it a thorough deep scrub to look as good as new over time.

Keep them Covered With Tarpaulin 

 

During unpredictable weather, as previously mentioned, it is important to keep the designs covered to help keep them in good condition. Before doing this, ensure that your design is bone dry so it will be ready for the next use.

 

The cover you should use for your furniture should be UV resistant because it will protect it from getting damaged by the sun. It is important to tie the furniture securely and the legs are on the floor. To stop the air circulation, use a board to place the furniture on it. The cover you choose should have the highest level of protection from moisture.

 

Store Cushions 

The cushions are an essential part of your rattan furniture. You should store them to ensure they stay dry against the rain. What’s more, they will get dirty with frequent use, so wash them thoroughly.

 

When it comes to storing the furniture, keep them in a safe place so they don’t get damaged or dirty. Use a storage cover made from strong and durable materials, which is the easiest and most straightforward way. Or, get some plastic storage bags that you can label for safe keeping, ensuring it is easy to find. Additionally, the storage covers are helpful in the winter and summer, as they are not susceptible to damage. 

Combine it with an Aluminium Pergola 

Protect your furniture with an aluminium pergola. Its strong and durable build will ensure that alongside the tarpaulin, your furniture will be safe and dry for many years to come. 

 

Pergolas are useful to protect your furniture from rain, making your living experience more enjoyable. 

Drawstrings are Affordable and Effective 

Another easy way is through the use of drawstrings. It is cost effective, saving you plenty of time and money in the process. What’s more, the furniture will be kept snug without worrying about damage. 

 

Choosing the right size depends on your furniture covers. A larger furniture cover needs thicker drawstrings, while a stool will require a smaller build. However, they are easy to put on and remove, saving you plenty of time.

 

While they won’t last forever, drawstrings are affordable, easy to maintain, and will protect you against the worst conditions.

Use a Waterproof Zipper 

Similar to a storage cover, a waterproof zipper is ideal if you want easy access to cover your furniture. Your best bet is to get a strong zipper that doesn’t get stuck, resulting in a secure and easy fit. 

 

A zipper gives you a durable and long lasting design. And, it can be made to measure, which is ideal if you want to prevent the furniture from ballooning.

Multi Surface Cleaners Are A Great Way Of Keeping Furniture Tidy 

Using a multi-surface cleaner is strong and durable, easily getting rid of mould and dirt. Rattan furniture is mostly kept outside, so it will easily get rid of stains such as wine and coffee. 

 

Alternatively, use a fabric cover spray that creates a barrier between dirt and the furniture. This is an ideal way to protect your rattan furniture cover even more.
