Caring for Rattan and Seagrass Baskets

Caring for Rattan and Seagrass Baskets

10/08/2026

Woven rattan and seagrass baskets from cartvello look best when they stay dry, dusted, and lightly aired—especially in kitchens and entryways.

Dust and wipe

Use a soft brush or dry cloth to lift dust from weave gaps. For light marks, wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately so fibers do not swell.

Shape and sun

Avoid long soaks and harsh scrubbing. Keep baskets out of constant direct sun so natural tones stay even.

  • Empty baskets before deep cleaning so bases keep their form.
  • Rotate display pieces so one side does not fade unevenly.
  • Store extras nested loosely—do not crush tall walls.

Simple care keeps boho baskets ready for fruit, blankets, or shelf styling.
