Start by identifying the wicker
“Wicker” describes the woven construction, not one specific material. Furniture may be made from natural rattan, reed or willow, or from synthetic resin and outdoor fibers. The safest cleaning method depends on the material and finish.
Step-by-step wicker cleaning
- Remove cushions and loose items. Clean those according to their own care labels.
- Remove loose dust and debris. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment, soft brush or dry microfiber cloth.
- Work with the weave. Brush along the woven pattern rather than aggressively across it.
- Test first. Try any cleaner or moisture on a hidden area before treating the full piece.
- Clean in sections. Avoid saturating natural wicker. Wipe or treat manageable areas and allow them to dry.
Cleaning very dirty wicker
For heavy grime, remove dry debris first so you are not grinding particles deeper into the weave. Apply a suitable cleaner to a small section, then use a soft cloth or soft brush only as needed.
Can you hose off wicker furniture?
Synthetic resin wicker often tolerates water better than natural wicker, but frames, finishes, hardware and cushions may have different care requirements. Avoid assuming every wicker piece can be soaked.
