Soak your Bolga basket completely once or twice a year to hydrate the grass and tighten the weave. Do not expose your basket to direct sunlight for long periods of time to avoid color fading. Avoid moisture and heavy humidity to protect your basket from mold, mildew, or color changing.
Sometimes after shipping, a basket’s shape may need readjusting. To reshape, wet the basket fully and gently reshape with your hands, fingers, or fists.
Once your basket has been wet, shake the water out and then dry it fully in a warm, dry airy location with good airflow. The basket can be placed in the sun or under a fan. Drying fully should take about 30 minutes.
Every basket you buy supports fair wages and community development for Ghanaian artisans. Discover your perfect Bolga basket today.
