Woven rattan can trap dust in its gaps, yet it is not maintained like a washable plastic bin. IKEA's TOLKNING and BRANÄS care information specifies a dry cloth for the basket body and separate care for textile liners. Check each product's finish and care label first.

1. Check the basket's material and care label. Identify rattan, coatings, handles and any removable liner; synthetic faux-rattan may need different care.
2. Empty the basket and gently remove loose dust from the bottom and corners. Check for sharp broken strands before reaching inside.
3. Wipe the interior and exterior woven rattan with a soft dry cloth. A very soft dry brush may reach gaps, but do not pull at the weave.
4. If a fabric liner is removable, clean it separately. Some products, such as IKEA BRANÄS, allow a 40°C normal wash for the liner; never assume this applies to every liner.
5. Do not soak the basket or apply bleach and harsh detergents. If it becomes wet, gently blot and let it dry completely in a ventilated shady spot. Never mix cleaning chemicals.
6. Store in a cool, dry location, checking periodically for damp smells, moisture and broken strands. The photograph is an illustrative rattan basket, not an IKEA TOLKNING or BRANÄS product image.
