So, remember rattan with fire and heat may not close, if you want to put on the table in rattan pot, casserole, etc. The food is very hot, we must remember that put insulation pad.
3. to maintain ventilation
Vines covered with fine cross section of the catheter, so rattan furniture can absorb a certain amount of water. But if too much water absorption, then furniture will become soft and loose, sagging flat, woven mesh is easy to breed and visible mold.
Therefore, if in the South, especially in the rainy season, rattan furniture, the ventilation is particularly important. In sunny days, the best furniture cleaning will have drafts of places to move, "hair", to avoid visible mold production, to keep dry. Do not ask "dry" eager, it carried to direct sunlight exposure, an influx of thousand of contrast, rattan easy fast deformation or fracture.
4. to avoid damp deformation
Rattan display shelf of books, the best to follow both sides of heavy, light the middle of the principles, so that books about the weight to be placed symmetrically to prevent moisture due to the middle of the weight of the bookcase sagging deformation.
The advantage of rattan furniture, damp deformation will be fixed into the original shape, after drying, or dried, it will revert to its original shape and size. Therefore, when moisture hanging rattan furniture, the try to reduce their load, clever and support it evenly, so that it remains the original woven shape, preventing deformation space. If the seat across the vines in the area under the square stool or Storage boxes stuffed to help prop up rattan surface, it does not distort the slow income dry.
5. rattan furniture, professional painting
All the rattan furniture have to wait for dry, use sandpaper again, and then the paint. Best not to paint at home on DIY, but sent to a special paint to use spray equipment spray. The benefit of this is to ensure that all the corners and recesses can even paint, will not be deep and concave point bump white signs. Before spray polyurethane paint carefully examine the content of some low-grade paint to ensure its quick drying nature of adding too much in the ingredients of polyurethane, that the surface paint on the rattan furniture is not only a layer of dazzling light, and will form a the surface layer of plastic, it is very hard very crisp, may hinder the natural rattan breathing, and all of the bent part, the small crack.
6. anti-moth
When the insects found locally rattan furniture, signs of how to do? Jalapeno pepper or face to face killing moth, but there is no damage to rattan. Pepper and a half to two and a half and with two Xiyan fried, ground up, stuffed Zhu Kong, then a small plastic bag with plastic sheeting or tight boring side, so the smell does not leak. Pepper with a sharp change is the same mode of operation. Boring area closed 24 hours after the killing, untied plastic sheets, washed with water partial decay side note, count them out to kill residual worms. Finally with a soft towel to prevent the spread of insects.
Enclosed rattan furniture, such as closets, junk cabinet, a door bookcase, etc., can be hung in the cupboard in one or two of fresh pepper and Xiyan mixing small bag, as the role of a moth.
● Clean rattan have secret
Rattan furniture are especially vulnerable because of moisture deformation, so do not "wash"! Once the "pouring wash" after the rattan furniture mesh will have a certain depth of water power, to bring the expansion of the wet strength, the network will support a large furniture surface, and make it sag. Therefore, the treatment of rattan furniture, cleaning must be careful.
Brushed the dust, with the best small vacuum cleaner and brush
Rattan furniture, colors to "return to basics" of temperament is very popular, but not on the practice also make it easier to paint accumulated dirt. Remember not to use in cleaning wet wipe cloth back and forth, you will find that the paint surface because of the lack of protection, the only role of wet wipes, is dry and dust into large Chou-type stains, so firmly stuck to the vine bar. So using the vacuum cleaner or dry dusting towel from the inside out is the first step, you can also use the clean sweep broom or Jimao Dan bed, brush and so on.
Small hand vacuum cleaner (cleaning brush) are linked not only to erase the floating dust jacket, clean cloth sofa, rattan furniture network clean from the surface of the dust is also a first-class. Also you can do with abandoned a thorough dusting brush, brushed mesh from the inside out in the dust. Note the different vine material, preferably of different mesh sizes in different textures, types of brushes. Such as soft white cane, brush with Yang Hao document as the best, and red rattan and bamboo relatively good health, recommend the use of wolf hair document.
Then be used to remove dust and damp (third wet) cloth to wipe it again, so its natural dried, polished with sandpaper the outer surface of rattan furniture, rub to the stains and restore the smooth surface, and finally the layer of varnish, dried in the shade, you can a new look.
