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.

What are Bolga Baskets?

Bolga baskets, or Bolgatanga Baskets, are handwoven baskets from northern Ghana’s Bolgatanga region. They are woven from natural elephant grass and plant-based traditional dyes and are mostly celebrated for their unique craftsmanship, vibrant colors, exceptional durability, and sustainable qualities. Bolga baskets are exclusive to the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, and skilled artisans of the region use traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations to create each exquisite basket, thereby preserving the traditional art form. 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.

How long does Bolga Basket last?

Thanks to the inherent resilience of elephant grass, a well-cared-for Bolga basket can last up to three decades. Bolga baskets are exceptionally durable and sturdy.

It is important 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 thoroughly before using it again. You can air dry it in the sun or a well-ventilated area. Cleaning your Bolga Basket is a simple process. Start by rinsing it under running water to remove dust and dirt. Occasionally, mix a mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub using a soft cloth. Then, rinse and dry. If your Bolga Basket has developed mould due to extended exposure to water, apply lemon juice to the affected area and leave to dry under sun, this will get rid of the mould.
