Rattan furniture is mainly the production of brackets and the weaving of weaving surfaces. The bracket is made of thick rattan, and its bending can be done in two ways: baking bending and saw bending. The kerf bending method is simple, but the strength is weakened and the curve is not natural and smooth. Rattan skin is generally used for the connection of the support. The basic methods of weaving the surface of the support with the rattan skin are picking, covering and wrapping. According to product requirements, rattan leather can be used to weave various patterns. China is rich in rattan resources, and rattan furniture mainly uses rattan strips, weaving patterns, and rattan or bamboo as the skeleton. Rattan furniture is characterized by lightness and comfort.
Its maintenance is also very particular, and then I will introduce it to you:
1. Avoid direct sunlight
The ultraviolet rays of the sun will degenerate the rattan and become brittle, and the long-term sunlight will make the white rattan furniture yellow, the brown-red shiny red rattan furniture will partially fade, and the expensive bamboo and rattan furniture will dry, loosen and come off. In direct sunlight, you may wish to use translucent white tulle curtains to separate the direct sunlight, so as to protect the rattan furniture without affecting the indoor lighting.
2. Avoid getting close to fire and heat sources
In the north, the radiator for winter heating is the enemy of rattan furniture. If the rattan seat is placed close to the radiator, the rattan near the part will be dry and brittle, and the toughness will become poor, and it will be difficult to recover after sitting; therefore, remember that rattan products must not be close to fire and heat sources. When placing very hot food such as hot pot and casserole on the table, you must remember to put a thermal insulation pad.
3. Keep ventilation
Mildew can easily grow in the woven mesh. On sunny days, it is best to clean the furniture and move it to a place with drafts to "blow it" to avoid mildew and keep it dry. Don't ask for "dry" eagerness, lift it to a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight, the contrast between the tide and the dry, the rattan is easy to deform or even break quickly.
4. Avoid moisture deformation
The advantage of rattan furniture is that it is fixed into its original shape after being deformed by moisture, and it will still return to its original shape and size after drying or drying in the shade. Therefore, when the rattan furniture is damp and sagging, find a way to reduce its load, and support it skillfully and evenly, so as to keep the original weaving shape and prevent the gap from being deformed. If it is a seat, you can put a square stool or a storage box under it through the rattan surface to help support the rattan surface, so that it can be slowly dried and not deformed.
5. Insect-proof
Zanthoxylum or hot pepper noodles can kill insects and moths, and have no damage to rattan. Stir-fry half Liang of Sichuan peppercorns and half Liang of fine salt together, grind them, stuff them into the holes, and then wrap the noodles tightly with a plastic cloth or small plastic bags to prevent the smell from leaking out. Switch to hot pepper noodles in the same way. 24 hours after the moth face is sealed for insecticide, untie the plastic sheet, and partially irrigate the moth face with boiling water to kill the remaining moths as much as possible. Finally, dry it with a soft towel to prevent the spread of moths. You can hang one or two small cloth bags mixed with fresh Chinese prickly ash and fine salt in the cabinet, which also has the effect of preventing moths.
