Wicker Magic Cleaning Guide

How to Clean Wicker Baskets

Wicker baskets collect dust deep inside the weave. Natural fibers can also warp if they are soaked, so dry cleaning and light moisture are usually the safest starting points.

Quick answer: Empty the basket, vacuum or brush loose dust, clean the weave gently, and avoid saturating natural wicker. Let the basket dry completely before storing items inside.

Remove dust from the weave first

Use a soft brush, dry microfiber cloth or vacuum brush attachment. Turn the basket over and clean the underside and base as well as the visible sides.

Clean handles and tight corners

Handles and rim joints often collect more grime because they are touched frequently. Use a soft brush or cloth to reach the narrow woven gaps without pulling fibers loose.

Do not soak natural wicker baskets

Extended soaking can soften, swell or distort natural fibers. If moisture is needed, use it sparingly and allow the basket to dry with good airflow.

Decorative baskets and planters

For decorative baskets, faux planters and similar woven accessories, test any cleaner on a hidden area first. Painted and stained wicker can react differently from unfinished material.
