How to Clean Mold and Mildew from Wicker and Palm Moses Baskets or how to maintain them in top notch condition: A KO-COON Guide

Maintaining the cleanliness and beauty of your wicker and palm Moses baskets is essential for your baby’s safety. Here’s how to keep them free from mold and mildew:

General Care Tips:

1. Regular Dusting: Dust weekly with a soft brush or cloth.
2. Vacuuming: Use a vacuum with a brush attachment biweekly.
3. Sun Exposure: Place in indirect sunlight regularly to dry and disinfect.
4. Avoid Excess Moisture: Keep away from damp areas.
5. Air Circulation: Ensure good ventilation around the basket.

Seasonal Care:

• Winter (June-August in Western Cape): Store indoors, use dehumidifiers, and check for mold frequently.
• Summer (November-March in Durban, Johannesburg, Limpopo): Maintain ventilation, regular sun exposure, and avoid damp areas.

Cleaning Mold and Mildew:

• Homemade Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, add a drop of dish soap. In the end sprinkle 1 tbsp baking soda directly on the stains.
• Application: Spray the solution on moldy areas, let sit for 15-20 minutes, scrub gently and rinse. Sprinkle baking soda on the same area, let it sit for another 15-20 minutes, scrub gently, rinse and dry completely.


By following these guidelines, you can ensure your KO-COON Moses baskets remain safe, clean, and beautiful.
