Simple tips to keep your natural pieces looking beautiful for years to come.
Basketly baskets are handcrafted with love and designed to bring both function and
beauty into your home. To ensure they stand the test of time, proper care is essential.
Whether it’s your rattan laundry hamper, your woven storage basket, or your favourite
flower rug, our guide has you covered.
Here are some simple, effective ways to keep your Basketly items looking their best:
Regular Dusting
Use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber duster to gently wipe down your basket. This helps
to remove dust buildup without damaging the natural fibres.
Pro Tip: For intricate weaves, a soft paintbrush or vacuum with a brush attachment works
wonders!
Deep Cleaning When Needed
If your basket needs more than a surface clean:
Mix a small amount of gentle soap with lukewarm water.
Dip a soft cloth or sponge in the solution and wring it out well.
Wipe the basket gently — avoid soaking!
Let your basket air dry completely, out of direct sunlight.
Avoid Moisture and Direct Sunlight:
Natural materials like rattan, straw, and sisal can warp or fade with prolonged exposure to
water and UV rays. Keep your baskets in well-ventilated, dry areas for best results.
Shape Maintenance:
To keep your baskets looking structured:
• Avoid overloading them.
• If your basket becomes misshapen, gently reshape it while it's slightly damp and let
it dry naturally.
Rotate and Reuse:
Give your baskets a break every now and then! Rotate their use between rooms or swap
contents to reduce wear in one area. Bonus: this keeps your home decor fresh and fun!
Protect Handles and Lids:
If your basket has leather handles or a fitted lid, treat these elements gently. Keep leather
supple with a small dab of conditioner and avoid pulling or placing heavy pressure on
straps.
A Basket that Lasts:
With just a little TLC, your Basketly pieces can last for many years — growing with your
home, your family, and your style.
