How could wicker garden furniture be protected?

Here are several ways to protect wicker garden furniture:

• Regular Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate and damage the wicker over time. Gently brush or vacuum the furniture regularly. Use a mild soap and water solution for deeper cleaning.
• Protective Sealant/Varnish: Applying a sealant or varnish specifically designed for outdoor wicker can protect it from moisture, UV rays, and general wear and tear. Reapply as needed, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Avoid Over-Wetting: While wicker can withstand some moisture, prolonged exposure can lead to damage. Cover the furniture during heavy rain or store it in a dry place.
• Cushions and Covers: Use cushions and covers to protect the wicker seating surfaces from dirt, spills, and direct sunlight.
• Storage: Store the furniture indoors or in a covered area during the off-season to protect it from harsh weather conditions.
• Elevate: Elevate the furniture slightly off the ground to prevent moisture from wicking up into the wicker.
• Oil (for Natural Wicker): For natural wicker, applying linseed oil or a similar protective oil can help keep it supple and prevent it from drying out and cracking.
• Inspect Regularly: Check the furniture regularly for signs of damage, such as cracks, breaks, or mildew. Repair any damage promptly to prevent further deterioration.
