Currently, handicraft is very popular in Vietnam and the world market. Like other furniture, bamboo and rattan furniture should also be properly preserved to create shine and maintain the paint color of the furniture. However, handicraft furniture is very susceptible to mold. Below, King Craft Viet would like to share some tips to help your handicraft decor always keep its original color and quality.

The cause of bamboo and rattan furniture is moldy and termites

– Non-standard preliminary processing: The process of handling raw materials to produce rattan furniture always has to comply with several strict requirements. Even a small mistake in the handling of raw materials can lead to the rapid deterioration of rattan furniture.

– Environmental humidity: Vietnam's hot and humid climate has a significant impact on the lifespan of bamboo and rattan furniture.

The secret to using bamboo and rattan furniture is always beautiful

– Keep handicraft products indoors with air-conditioned and dry rooms.

– Avoid letting rainwater come into contact or pour water directly on rattan furniture.

– Avoid exposing rattan furniture to direct sunlight. Because if the temperature is too high, it will make the wood paint color on rattan and bamboo products easily fade, losing the beauty and durability of the product.

- Avoid spilling chemicals on items. If you accidentally drop ink on the rattan chair, you must quickly wipe it away to avoid ink seeping into the material.

How to preserve bamboo and rattan furniture always like new

- Need to spray disinfectant before use to kill mold and termites. Newly purchased rattan furniture should also be exposed to the sun 1 to 2 times to dry and kill bacteria.

– To avoid direct contact with water and chemicals, use a glass cover on the tabletop.

After using it for about 1 year, you should repaint bamboo and rattan products. You can use glossy paint if you want to keep the old color of the product or use oil paint or PU paint if you want your furniture to "give a new look". New paint helps protect the surface of the product, avoiding termites attack.

- Regularly clean bamboo and rattan items. You can use a small brush, soft cloth, or vacuum cleaner to clean the dirt to avoid scratching the product. Avoid using strong detergents for cleaning as they may damage the paint surface of the product.

With just a little less time to preserve the rattan furniture every day, the product will always look like new. Thanks to that, your beloved home will be filled with life every day.
