Basketgem Care Guide: 5 Tips to Extend Lifespan

2. Moisture-proof and mildew-proof, keep away from moisture

Woven baskets made of natural materials are particularly sensitive to humidity. Place the basket in a ventilated and dry place, avoiding direct contact with the ground or wall. If it is in a humid environment, you can place a desiccant or activated carbon bag in the basket. Once signs of mold are found, wipe it immediately with a solution of 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water, and wait until it is completely dry before putting it into use.

3. Proper storage to avoid deformation

When idle, you can fill the basket with soft cloth or bubble film to maintain its original shape. Never stack heavy objects on top of the basket to avoid collapse or deformation. For foldable woven baskets, store them according to the design to reduce the damage of creases to the woven structure.

4. Avoid exposure to the sun to prevent fading

Extended exposure to the sun will cause the color of the woven basket to fade and the material to become brittle. Place it in a soft light indoors, or use curtains to block direct sunlight. If you need to dry it after cleaning, choose a ventilated and cool place to dry it naturally, avoiding direct sunlight.

5. Repair in time to prevent problems from happening

When you find that the basket is slightly worn or the thread ends are loose, repair it with a thread of the same material or thin rattan in time. For seriously damaged parts, you can contact professional repair personnel to deal with it. Regularly checking the structural integrity of the basket can effectively prevent small problems from turning into damage that is difficult to repair.
