Care Notes:
If properly cared for, your straw bag will serve you for a long time. You may clean it with warm, soapy water. Allow your market bag to dry in between uses by carefully hanging it up or leave it in the sun to dry.

If your market basket arrives needing a little re-shaping, simply wet it and gently pat it back into shape and allow to dry thoroughly.
