How do I clean a woven cane side chair?

Can I use a woven cane side chair daily?

Most antique cane chairs tolerate everyday domestic use provided they are placed away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture. Distributing weight evenly helps protect fragile historical webbing. Heavier users should exercise caution with older or finer cane panels to prevent snapping the natural plant material.

What rooms suit a woven cane side chair?
