Wicker furniture should be sucked off or brushed off with a laundry brush regularly.
Thus you can prevent crude filth.
In general: use as little water as possible.
Mix water and soap or only use the foam. With a small brush you can also clean the small spaces.
Afterwards wipe off the foam with a towel.
If your outdoor furniture requires a more thorough cleaning wait for a nice sunny and windy day.
First brush the furniture with a soft brush. Afterwards hose down the furniture with the garden hose.
Now dry it as fast as possible. Put the furniture into the sun and if possible dry it with a ventilator.
Paint the chipped off color after the furniture has dried well. For wicker furniture spray wax for cars is very suitable. It leaves a good protective film on the plaited material.

Do you want to clean untreated wicker garden furniture take 2 spoon salt per a bucket off hot water. Then brush the fruniture, afterwards hose them down too. Also zitronenoel carries out good services. It cleans and prevents that the basket material drains.
