- It is essential to ensure that your basket stays moisture-free to prevent molding. This is a crucial aspect to keep in mind to maintain the basket’s longevity and quality.
- If you need to wet your basket to reshape or clean it, dry it completely before using it again. You can air dry it in the sun or a well-ventilated area. Once it’s completely dry, your basket will be ready for use.
- It is important to note that baskets made from elephant grass do not fare well in prolonged exposure to water; this could cause molding on your basket. However, if this happens, there is no need to panic; apply some lemon juice to the affected area, rinse it off, and allow it to dry. This should eliminate mold and bring your basket back to its original condition.
Safety
- Never leave your baby unattended on the changing basket, especially when using it on a dresser top.
- This changing basket is not meant to be a carrying device for your little one. So, when you’re ready to move your baby from one place to another, place the basket down first and then gently place your little one inside. This will ensure your little one’s safety while enjoying the coziness of their basket.
- It’s important to note that loose bedding or pillows should never be used in the changing basket when your newborn is inside, as these can pose a suffocation risk.
- We highly recommend pairing our baby changing basket with a fitting basket liner. This will safeguard your little one’s hands and feet from the rough texture of grass.
- Remember to pair our basket mattress with a mattress sheet if you plan to use it. This will ensure your little one sleeps comfortably.
