How to Tune Up Wicker Funiture

You can freshen up your wicker furniture to last longer without sagging seats and wobbly legs. First, take the wicker furniture you want to tune up outdoors if it is not already located on the patio. Next, get a bucket and a sponge and wash the wicker well with hot soapy water (use dish soap). Add table salt

and a cup of vinegar to the soap solution to help it penetrate the wicker. Next, rinse it completely with your garden hose and let the furniture air dry in the sunshine outdoors. When the furniture has completely dried, the wicker will have shrunk up and tightened to give you back your sturdy wicker furniture.
