Default How to clean rattan furniture?

We bought a used rattan lanai set – round table base with glass top, 4 sturdy chairs, each with arms – when we moved to TV 3 yrs. ago. What’s the best way to clean them? We’ve used a combo of soap & water & vinegar with toothbrushes to scrub the past 3 springs, but what appears to be mold, the dark stuff, keeps coming back, especially on the arms. Please see the pics. Have we scraped the rattan too much & need to seal it? Does rattan need sealing? Perhaps a different washing product? We love the rattan look but want it to be clean too. Thanks for your advice.
