Practical care tips for cane seats and roller shades
To tighten cane seats and prevent sagging, sponge the surface with salt water occasionally. Wetting stiff brushes and brooms extends their life by reducing brittleness. For DIY roller shades, use glazed chintz, heavy sateen, or calico of similar weight and weave to match room fabric.
Knife care guidance for preventing dulling
