Get your garden ready for sunny days

Rattan is a popular choice for garden furniture. Here's how to clean it

Rattan furniture is a popular choice for Irish gardens and with sunny weather being forecast, you may want to spend some time sitting on yours this summer. However, if they have been languishing in all elements since last June you may need to refresh your furniture and have your outdoor area looking spick and span.

Generally, garden furniture of this type is made of natural rattan or artificial poly rattan, which are both strong and flexible materials so they are resistant to everyday wear and tear. Rattan is typically durable to temperature and humidity and can withstand heat and cold.
