User Recommendation
Rattan is a natural material which is both durable and flexible. Most
rattan furniture only needs basic cleaning and care to preserve its
natural strength and colour. Follow these steps to keep your rattan
furniture looking beautiful for years to come and ensure its longevity.
Assembly
1. Assemble furniture using our Assembly Guides. You can find them at
support.brosa.com
2. Do not dispose of any packaging or contents of the shipping carton
until assembly is completed to avoid accidentally discarding small
parts or hardware.
3. Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly assembled. Assembly
should be carried out by competent people.
Placement
1. This product is for indoor use only.
2. Keep furniture on flat, level ground. Placing it unevenly may cause
deformation.
3. Do not place heavy objects on furniture.
4. When repositioning furniture always lift, don’t drag.
5. Keep sharp objects away from furniture. They cause scratches and
splinters to the surface.
6. Do not stack furniture.
General Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Clean furniture regularly with a white soft cloth. Slightly damp fabrics
help absorb dust, but remember to dry it once you’re done.
2. Clean spills and stains immediately with a clean cloth. As long as
you’re on hand to wipe up any spills straight away, you shouldn’t
encounter any problems.
3. Keep liquids away as they may damage the finishing.
4. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals such as alcohol or gasoline
solvents. Avoid using sponges or dirty cloths.
5. Cover furniture that isn’t being used to protect from dust and
ageing.
6. Re-tighten screws and attachments if they loosen.

7. Use protective coasters and mats for hot items on the furniture.
8. Keep furniture away from intense direct sunlight. Exposure can
cause cracks or discolouration.
9. Severe changes in temperature and humidity can accelerate ageing.
Keep furniture at least 60cm from heating or air conditioning.
10. Do not place furniture near open flames.
Rattan Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Clean rattan surfaces regularly. A monthly or even weekly cleaning
helps prevent dust from building up in crevices.
2. Use a vacuum with the brush attachment to remove loose dust and
debris from the crevices and cracks.
3. Use a toothbrush, cocktail stick or any other fine tool to remove
stubborn soil or debris.
4. Humidity may cause rattan webbing to go loose and bulge slightly. It
will eventually dry tight. Should the rattan webbing stay loose and look
stretched, wet the webbing with a damp cloth and dry out the piece in
a well-ventilated area. It helps restore the tightness.
5. If mildew or mould forms, mix bleach with water and use a scrub
brush to clean the affected area. Try not to saturate the rattan. Wipe
down the area with a fresh damp cloth to remove any bleach residue.
Allow the furniture to air dry.
6. Leaving the rattan webbing in its natural state allows the material to
breathe and gives maximum longevity.
7. Applying some linseed oil helps nourish rattan.
8. Occasionally inspect the rattan surface to identify any splinters or
broken webbing. Remove the splinters immediately to avoid any
injuries. If the breakage is significant, seek further advice by contacting
us directly.
