Can natural rattan outdoor planters be safely pressure-washed during cleaning?
Natural rattan outdoor planters add a rustic charm to gardens and patios, but cleaning them requires care. While pressure washing can be effective for some outdoor furniture, it may damage rattan due to its delicate fibers. High-pressure water can cause splitting, fraying, or loosening of the weave. Instead, use a gentle hose spray or a soft brush with mild soapy water for routine cleaning. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth or sponge is safer. To preserve rattan’s longevity, avoid prolonged sun exposure and store planters indoors during harsh weather. Regular maintenance with natural oils can also help retain their beauty. Always check manufacturer guidelines before using high-pressure cleaning methods.
