Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The basket comes ready to use. If your basket includes a removable cotton lining, simply insert it into the main compartment. Ensure the leather straps are buckled securely when the basket is closed.
Compatibility: This basket is designed for general picnic use and is compatible with a wide range of food and drink items. It is not intended for carrying excessively heavy or sharp objects that could damage the wicker.
Care:
- Cleaning the Wicker: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the wicker. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Lining: If the cotton lining is removable, it can typically be hand-washed or machine-washed according to its care label. Ensure it is fully dry before reinserting.
- Strap Care: Condition leather straps periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold or mildew. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
