Maintenance Tips: Caring for Bamboo and Rattan Lamps

Natural lighting fixtures like bamboo and rattan lamps require specific care to maintain their beauty and durability. Whether it’s a Bali bamboo lamp or a rattan dining room lamp, proper upkeep ensures longevity and performance.

Keep Them Dry, Always

Moisture is the enemy of woven fixtures.

• Avoid installing wicker hanging ceiling light or natural woven bamboo chandelier in humid areas like bathrooms.

• Use a dry cloth to clean surfaces and a soft brush for hard-to-reach weaves.

Avoid Harsh Sunlight

Direct UV exposure can cause fading and cracking.

• Keep your Vietnamese bamboo pendant light or cane bamboo lamp away from south-facing windows.

• If used outdoors, only place them under covered spaces.

Dust Regularly

Dust buildup can weaken fibers over time.

• Clean your bamboo basket pendant light weekly with a handheld vacuum or a soft microfiber cloth.

• The handwoven bamboo hanging lamp should be gently rotated to distribute aging evenly.

Treat with Oil Occasionally

Rattan especially benefits from occasional oiling.

• Use linseed oil or mineral oil on the rustic bamboo lantern lamp and natural cane lamp to prevent brittleness.

• Avoid soaking — apply lightly and wipe off excess.

Storage Advice

If storing during off-seasons:

• Wrap the eco bamboo ceiling light in breathable fabric and place in a dry area.

• Never use plastic, as it traps moisture and encourages mold.

These simple steps can preserve the charm of both bamboo and rattan fixtures. Remember, they're not just lights — they're artisanal pieces that reflect culture and sustainability.
