Sisal is a natural fibre and will withstand most conditions. However, given most of the dyes used are natural the colours can run or deteriorate if it gets wet. If you are using your basket as a plant pot holder, be sure to line it with a plastic bag or put the pot on a drip tray.
Do not leave your basket exposed to strong sun light for long periods of time as the dyes may fade.
If your basket has been bent out of shape and you need to reshape it, lightly spritz the inside, and place it over something of a similar shape and size to dry. Alternatively, you can spritz the inside lightly with water and iron back into shape on a low heat, using a tea towel as a buffer.
Please be aware these are a natural fibre product, which is not impregnated or treated with any chemicals. If left in an extremely high humid or wet environment, these products can be susceptible to mildew. Should this occur, dry the product fully, either in a well ventilated area, or in direct sun light, and brush off the dried mildew with a domestic hand brush.
Should you need to spot clean your basket, wipe area with a clean damp cloth and ensure it dries full
The Chief Chairs have been coated twice with Lanolin oil but this does not make them waterproof. Do not leave out in the rain, or in direct strong sunlight, as this may cause the wood to dry out too much. They should not be left outside for prolonged periods unless under cover.
To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth or brush with a soft brush and oil every three to five years with a suitable wood oil, letting it fully absorb before using the chair. Oiling is best done in a warm dry environment; avoid high humidity conditions.
These baskets are woven out of grass and palm and are perfect for decorative purposes. They are not treated with chemicals or glue, so are not suitable for outdoor spaces prone to moisture or direct sun. They can be used to display dried decoration, or to keep fruit and dried items, but are not recommended for items that could disperse moisture, such as soft fruit.
