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.

The creation of Bolga baskets is not just a mere pastime for the indigenous people of rural Bolgatanga; the production of Bolga baskets provides a vital source of income for many local families. This craft has a significant economic impact on the region, supporting the livelihoods of numerous households.
