Is it a good quality wicker that's sealed?  I took mine out in the yard and used a garden hose on it and the sun dried it.  But I would not do it very often.  once clean use a swiffer 360 regularly or the hose of a canister vac 

You can vacuum clean it. But you have to have a good vacuum cleaner in order to do it.

Furniture manufacturing in plastics requires very costly machinery, which the Danish market is not big enough to justify. Or so they say. But show me a plastics manufacturer who dares to take on the experiment. - Arne Jacobsen

Use a small brush or use a vacuum cleaner to dust it. Clean spills quickly therefore you need to clean up anything that is spilled onto it quickly. Make sure that you wipe it with a sponge and use soapy water. Keep it out of the rain and direct sunlight. Clean it properly by mixing a basic solution of water and a couple of drops of detergent and dip the sponge to apply the solution to the furniture. Use your brush or paint brush to get into the fine cracks. Let the wood parts dry. Otherwise it will get damaged quickly. If you find any mildew on your wicker, use a solution of 50/50 bleach water and rinse it completely after 5 minutes. Keep it dry. Place it in the sun or use a blow dryer on it. Keep water off of it as much as possible. You can use a varnish, shellac or lacquer on your wicker. If your wicker has been painted, you can add a new coat if you like. Make sure to only apply a thin coat of liquid furniture wax to it to give it a good, classy finish.

First remove dust from the furniture by vacuum cleaner

Keep the amount of water that you use to a minimum. To clean it, put the cleaning solution into a bucket and then wash as you go

If the wicker gets too wet, it is going to get much too limp to use
