We're about to see a resurgence in cane outdoor furniture. Because it is sturdy, light and easy to move around, this furniture gives a relaxed and tranquil ambience, ideal for long summer days outdoors. The fact that it is eco-friendly adds to its value, because many people worry over buying wooden furniture that may come from rainforests and cane is an easily renewable resource.
The most attractive qualities of cane are its elasticity, lightness, durability and toughness. Although cane is not entirely waterproof, it copes well with occasional showers and as long as it is not left standing in damp puddles, will soon dry and regain its former condition.
It is also very easy to maintain cane furniture. All you need to do on a regular basis is wipe it with a dry cloth to remove dust. If it suffers from stains or spillages maybe after a barbecue or party, you can use a slightly damp cloth to wash them off - serious stains like barbecue sauce or red wine are best removed with a small brush like a toothbrush and a solution of warm soapy water. If that fails to remove them completely you can use a mild bleach solution.
If you live on the coast cane furniture is ideal - it is noted for its high resistance to salinity. This means it can withstand climatic fluctuation and remains sturdy and strong even in high humidity, like the beach. And cane also makes a lifestyle statement with its ethnic appeal and oriental overtones.
