Low maintenance rattan conservatory furniture

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

When you have chosen your sparkling new rattan conservatory furniture, it will look fantastic and homely once set in your conservatory. Furniture that spends too much time in the sun, in warm weather, can fade quickly.

However, your rattan conservatory furniture will look wonderful, with its natural colours catching the light. When your rattan conservatory furniture needs a dusting, just take a soft muslin cloth or a soft feather duster, and wipe the rattan chairs and rattan sofas down.

A feather duster is an important tool for getting to the dust that has collected in the corners and crevices, which can be hard to get to otherwise. A soft toothbrush, or a shoe polishing brush, is ideal for removing any unwanted, stubborn marks.

Excess dirt can be ‘dabbed’ away with a damp cloth, but make sure it’s not too wet. Outdoor rattan furniture, brought out of storage, will benefit from this method of cleaning. If you have discovered a few split ends, apply glue to the affected area and bind with some tape, until the glue has had time to dry.

Rattan wrapping may come loose, but applying the same method with glue will suffice in solving the problem. Whatever design choice you make with rattan furniture, with good care and attention, it will serve you for a long time.

At 1st for Cane, we acknowledge the fact that our rattan furniture is made from a natural material, is easily replenished, and therefore not harming the planet in any way.

Looking at the different seasons with rattan furniture

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Once the cold winter weather has passed, it is time to tidy up the garden and start enjoying the light nights of spring and summer. The different seasons of the year bring with them a different set of jobs to do. Spring is when your garden is crying out for attention, and the outdoor rattan furniture is in the shed, but is ready for a clean.

Cushions that may have become a little dusty need washing and drying, ready for the wonderful evenings sat outside, reading a book or entertaining friends. In the summer months, when the warmer weather appears, cleaning the barbecue is the task in hand, ready for great food and good company.

When entertaining friends, it is fortunate that rattan garden furniture is not only low-maintenance, but is strong and durable, as there can be a few accidents with spillages. Spillages are no problem; a quick wipe down over your rattan furniture with a soft cloth will be enough to clean them.

When the autumn months are drawing in, and the falling leaves are becoming a problem, there is still time to have a barbeque, or roast a few potatoes on an open bonfire. Outdoor rattan furniture is manufactured to a high enough standard to withstand the varying seasons. When winter comes, it is time your rattan furniture had a quick wipe over before settling it away for next spring.

At 1st For Cane, we have a wide range of the latest designs of Rattan furniture for your enjoyment.

Make space work for you with cane or wicker furniture

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

If you are a homeowner with a large amount of space, you are in a position to take advantage of fabulous pieces of rattan living room furniture and rattan dining room furniture.

Conservatories are not the only room where rattan furniture belongs; it fits into any space in any room. One way to fill a space is to look at cane suites or wicker conservatory furniture, mix them up with your own traditional pieces to establish office and leisure areas, using the furniture as a set of boundaries.

A cold room in a house, such as a bedroom, can be turned into a warm and inviting one without too much effort. If you have just decorated a bedroom, and your original accessories are looking tired, remove them or add rattan furniture to give some depth to the original tones that you chose in the first place. One tip is to divide some of the space, place one of the many designer wicker or cane chairs in the room, and add a new lamp at the side of a bed on the original bedside cabinet.

Moving a bed, wardrobe and other pieces of furniture can transform a room. Adding a few essential home accessories in a different colour, with new bedside lamps and centre lighting, creates a relaxing atmosphere for reading or listening to music.

At 1st For Cane, we have a large range of cane sofas, amongst other fabulous pieces of cane furniture – including the latest designs in conservatory furniture.

Information about cane, the natural material

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

It can be difficult for a person to tell the difference between cane furniture, wicker furniture and rattan furniture. Cane itself is mainly used as conservatory furniture; it has a good reputation for being strong and durable. Some popular pieces of cane furniture are cane sofas, cane tables and, of course, any of these pieces can be used in any room.

What most people do not realise is that cane is the stem of a rattan vine; its joints meet the palm leaf of the plant. New vines have to be left to develop and grow for up to 15 years, before being strong enough to be cut and used for Cane furniture.

In South East Asia, you will find cane being used as scaffolding for buildings, the same way that builders in this country use metal scaffolding. Rattan is the solid core found at the bottom of a vine, which means it is also an ideal choice as a material for manufacturing rattan furniture.

Rattan conservatory furniture, or outdoor rattan garden furniture, is growing in popularity with homeowners who want to use their furniture throughout the year. Wicker is a type of weave and you will hear many times the term ‘wickerwork’ being used, which is simply the name of the weave. Wicker conservatory furniture shows off its intricate weave – the darker colour of the weave looks absolutely wonderful with an array of bright seat cushions.

At 1st For Cane, we have a wide range of Cane, Rattan and Wicker furniture available.

Cleaning And Looking After Your Rattan Conservatory Furniture

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Cleaning And Looking After Your Rattan Conservatory Furniture

When your Rattan conservatory furniture is delivered to your home it will look wonderfully clean and shiny.

However, it is important to keep rattan furniture in good order. When your rattan conservatory furniture starts to look dusty, clean with a soft feather duster that is able to get into corners where dust gathers.

General dust can be cleared away with a clean cloth and stubborn marks are easily removed with either a soft toothbrush or small furniture brush.

Always dab your rattan furniture or take a soft brush with a damp (not wet) cotton sheet to remove excess dirt. Stains can be removed in this way if the furniture is very dirty.

If your rattan furniture experiences any splits or cracks, there are a few easy steps to nip the problem in the bud.

Apply glue immediately to the affected area and bound up with tape until the glue dries out.

The same practice applies to pieces of Rattan wrapping that may have come loose.

If you take care of your new pieces of Rattan furniture it will serve you well as a long term investment.

When you purchase any piece of rattan furniture you are not harming the environment as it is a natural product.

Using furniture that has been made out of natural materials and is sustainable can only be good for our environment.

At 1st For Cane we are proud that we have a wide range of rattan furniture that is environmentally friendly.
