How to clean wicker plant stand?

Shrimp Salad Circus on May 19, 2015I love a good yard sale find! I'd start by giving it a thorough spray with canned air, like what you use to clean electronics, to get excess dirt and dust out of the small nooks and crannies. Then I'd soak it for a few minutes in a large bucket or tub of water with a really mild bleach solution and scrub it with a scrub brush. You can always re-soak for a little longer if you're not happy with what's coming off. The black areas might not come off completely, but spray paint is a great solution if there's a nice color you have in mind - or a crisp, bright white!Helpful Reply

Julie @ Southern Wild Design on May 19, 2015Put it in the shower or bathtub and spray it down with a bleach solution. You can then easily rinse it. Let it dry thoroughly. Spray paint is a great option!Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on May 20, 2015I'd use a variety of brushes (bottle, etc.) and give a good cleaning with soapy water with some bleach added. Once dry, you can give a spray stain/poly combo finish to get all the nooks and crannies.Helpful Reply

April E on May 20, 2015Bleach can make wicker brittle. I would soak it down by spraying it with soapy water, let that set, then use a med bristle brush to clean it. then spray it outside with clear water, let it dry out a bit to see if you need to repete. then spray it with vinegar to kill any mold. At that point then decide what color I wanted to paint itHelpful Reply

Nancy on May 20, 2015Anything "basketry" can be soaked in water, soaped down and rinsed. Then you just let it dry. Depending on how sturdy it is, scrubbing with a brush is definitely ok. If it has stains that won't go away, spray painting is an idea that usually looks good.Helpful Reply
