Using Your Basket
Each of our baskets are handwoven from Elephant grass. At the end of the weaving process, the ends of the grass, which stick out from each side, are trimmed. Small pieces of the grass may stick out. Especially where the handles are attached. These can be trimmed easily with scissors.
If being used on a daily basis, we suggest using the basket with a liner or Muslin Blankets. Muslin is breathable and can be draped over the basket. Liners are sold on our site as well on other shops on Etsy that make custom liners for baskets. Please make sure that the liners are made to fit the measurements of your basket, we can not guarantee safe sizing on liners other than those on our site.
Please see safety instructions below.
Washing your Organic Pad
Our Organic Kapok pad is best used with a waterproof pad and sheet. This way, only spot cleaning is necessary. It is not recommended, but If you feel you have to wash your pad with the kapok in it, you need to spin dry it really fast, and then tumble dry it extremely well, and even better add something in the dryer to give it a really good pummel. Make sure the kapok is completely dry (it could take awhile).
Reshaping Your Basket
Oh No! My basket has lost its shape!
Not to worry! Simply run the basket under room temperature or cold water for a few minutes. Once the water enters the grass, let the excess water drain off. The basket has now become softer and malleable. Use your hands to shape the basket back to its ideal shape.
Once you have shaped the basket, place it out to dry. Ideally, it can be placed on the porch (away from sunlight) or under a fan. Please make sure it is fully dried before use or storage. Please trim any grass that may stick out after the wash.
To maintain the quality of the basket, do not leave the basket in the sun for long periods of time. Do not use harsh agents to wash the basket. After weaving, the baskets are steam cleaned, shaped, and cured before shipment. If you would like to clean the basket again, you can run it under water as instructed above or use a rag to wipe it down. We can not guarantee that soap or spray cleaners will not damage the basket or be hazardous to the baby.
