Question 3

Product Care

Accepted Answer

It is important to ensure that your basket stays free of moisture in order to prevent moulding. This is a crucial aspect to keep in mind in order to maintain the basket’s longevity and quality.
In case you need to wet your basket to reshape or clean it, make sure to dry it completely before using it again. You can air dry it in the sun or in a well-ventilated area. Your basket will be ready for use once it’s completely dry.
It is important to note that baskets made from elephant grass do not fare well in prolonged exposure to water, this could cause moulding on your basket. However If this happens, there is no need to panic, simply apply some lemon juice to the affected area, rinse it off, and allow it to dry. This should effectively eliminate the mold and bring your basket back to its original condition.
