If you have bought our Raffia, straw, willow, and rattan accessories, and are wondering how to look after them, try these tips, and your accessories will not only look good but will last for years and years to come.
1. Clean your raffia, straw, and seagrass accessories
- Mix two to three drops of soap into a basin filled with cold water.
- Dip a cotton rag into the soap water, and wring the excess water out of it until it’s just damp to the touch.
- Gently wipe down your straw bag with the damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Do not scrub it too hard, which can damage delicate straw fibers.
- If your accessories get too wet, you should wipe away the water with a towel immediately, otherwise, your accessories will soak up the excess water and create a permanent stain.
- Air dry your accessories, Do not dry them in the direct sunlight.
2. Clean your willow, rattan bags
- Mix two to three drops of soap into a basin filled with cold water.
- Dip a toothbrush in the soap and water mixture.
- Gently rub the dirty area with the toothbrush. Avoid scrubbing it too hard.
- Wipe the area with a clean white cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Air dry your accessories, Do not dry them in the direct sunlight.
3. Where to keep your accessories
- It is best to keep your straw accessories in an air-conditioned or dehumidified room. Please avoid direct sunlight and high humidity area, which can cause the woven fiber to swell and distort.
- To Avoid dust, store your accessories in a cotton bag rather than a plastic bag. Natural materials like straw, rattan, and willow need to breathe, cotton is a more breathable material than plastic.
- To keep accessories in shape, stuff your bag with paper when not in use.
- Do not hang your accessories. Store them upright or lie flat to preserve shape.
