Characteristics

Rattan is a natural, flexible vine known for its lightweight strength and tactile beauty. Each type, whether kubu, selimit, manao, peel, or CL, brings unique texture and tone. Its organic nature adds warmth and character to any setting but requires mindful care to preserve its integrity.

Common Issues or Risks

Natural rattan is sensitive to environmental changes. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or rain can cause fading, warping, cracking, or mould. Fibres may gradually loosen or fray over time, particularly in humid or damp conditions.

Preventative Care

Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Maintain good airflow around the piece, especially in humid environments. Use foot protectors or risers to elevate furniture off damp or muddy ground. In semi-outdoor settings, position rattan away from direct sun and rain. Selimit and kubu are particularly vulnerable to moisture and should be kept in dry, undercover areas. Cover with breathable outdoor covers when not in use for extended periods. Ensure furniture is completely dry before covering or storing.

Cleaning Instructions

Dust regularly using a soft cloth, brush, or vacuum with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild, non-acidic soap. Always rinse with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Use a soft brush to reach between weaves and remove trapped dust.

Cautions / What to Avoid

Do not soak or leave moisture sitting on the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers, which can damage fibres or strip the protective finish. Avoid placing heavy or sharp-edged objects on woven surfaces to prevent indentations or stretching. Do not store in plastic or non-breathable covers, as this can trap moisture and encourage mould growth.
