Brush away crumbs, wipe gently with a soft cloth and let the basket dry completely in a ventilated place. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, harsh cleaners and long periods in damp conditions.

A few pieces of fruit, a loaf wrapped in a napkin, or the things that collect by the front door. For bread, fries or other snacks, use a suitable food-safe liner; keep oily or wet foods from direct contact with the bamboo. The basket is not intended to hold liquids.

Dust with a soft brush, moving gently along the weave. Wipe only as needed, then dry fully. Do not soak, place in a dishwasher, force objects through the lattice or use it to carry heavy loads.

Use it to arrange whole fruit or to gather light, dry objects. A liner helps keep small items from slipping through the weave. It also sits comfortably on a shelf as a decorative object. The display stand shown in the photograph is not included.
