Rattan should be maintained just like any other wood furniture. Vacuum your rattan and wicker pieces occasionally with a soft brush vacuum attachment to remove dust. Use wood furniture polish such as Murphy's Oil Soap® or Pledge® as directed to keep the original finish clean.

How to Remove Scratches From Rattan

1. If the surface is not smooth, sand first with steel wool or fine grit sandpaper.
2. Apply the appropriate colored marker to the affected and surrounding areas and blend.
3. Blend with your finger or paper towel.
4. If a darker touch up is needed, let dry for 30 seconds and reapply marker.
5. If the shine on the finish is not consistent apply blush spray, remembering to spray the surrounding areas to blend.
   
   

*For minor scratches, rub with lemon oil OR apply blush spray

1. Apply a fill stick that is similar to your furniture's finish.
2. Firmly rub the fill stick over the area.
3. Blend with your finger or a paper towel.
4. Remove the extra fill stick material off the surrounding area.
5. Spray lightly with glass to match the original shine.

Pecan Glaze: Use Maple Brown or Cherry Universal Touch Up Marker. Fill Stick 230-0408 or similar dark color as the wood.
Whitewash: Whitewash Marker (blend with your finger or paper towel if too light)
Natural: Clear Coat Spray

If your indoor rattan furniture collects unwanted surface paint or other blemishes you can choose to remove them using acetone or without acetone.

Using Acetone

1. Pour acetone on a rag and allow to dry for 5 seconds. Remember to always apply the acetone first in an unnoticeable area to check the color fastness of the finish before using over the entire piece.
2. Lightly wipe the area where you want to remove the paint.
   
   

Without Using Acetone

1. Sand the area lightly with steel wool.
2. Spray a light coat of blush to bring back the original shine.
