Why dry debris should come off first
Dust, sand and pollen can act like grit when they become wet. Removing the loose layer first reduces smearing and makes deeper cleaning more effective.
Where grime hides on wicker
- Inside the woven intersections
- Along arms and seat edges
- At frame joints
- Under cushions
- Near the lower legs and rails
For stubborn buildup
Apply a compatible cleaner to a small section and give it time to loosen the film. Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth rather than a hard scrubber. Repeat if needed instead of using excessive force.
Routine maintenance reduces heavy scrubbing
Regular light cleaning keeps pollen and dust from turning into a stubborn gray film. Outdoor pieces may need attention more often during windy or high-pollen seasons.
