In furniture and small household items, what is the difference between rattan, bamboo, and wicker?

SisterGirl asked:


I have quite a bit of this in my home and the dust has accumulated over the years. I have heard that bamboo can be cleaned outdoors with a garden hose, but before I do that, I want to assure myself that what I have is bamboo.
Forgot to ask: Are there any good links on this sort of thing?
