reconditioning old wicker basket with coconut oil

we have this beautiful rattan-slash-water hyacinth wicker basket since the 90s.  it served us good for the past years, and hopefully, for a few more years to come with the help of this all-natural and non-toxic wicker basket conditioner.  you may use a small-sized paint brush for a less messy application or your bare hands.  i prefer the latter because it warms up the coconut oil so it can easily be absorbed by the basket material, and moisturizes my skin at the same time.

old, dried-out wicker basket.  black molds.



apply your coconut oil with a paint brush or bare hands.



let your wicker basket sit under the sun for about 30 minutes or so.  this should also kill all the molds.



wipe out excess coconut oil.  buff wooden handles with a soft cloth.  ready to use.
