Product Information
Full details
This Dibor Laundry Storage Basket in Grey is ideal for anyone seeking a stylish and eco-friendly way to manage laundry in bedrooms, bathrooms, or laundry rooms. Its primary benefit is combining natural, durable rattan construction with a removable cotton lining for easy cleaning and a clean aesthetic. A potential caveat is that the natural rattan may require specific care to maintain its finish over time. Key features include its 100% natural rattan build, grey washed finish, lid for concealment, and a removable white cotton lining.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the laundry basket?
Please refer to the product's specific dimensions listed in its detailed specifications for exact measurements.
Can the cotton lining be purchased separately?
Currently, separate linings are not typically offered. We recommend maintaining the existing lining and replacing the basket if necessary.
Is the grey wash finish sealed?
The finish is designed for aesthetic purposes. While it offers some protection, avoid harsh scrubbing that could remove the color or coating.
How much laundry can this basket hold?
The capacity is suitable for the average weekly laundry load of one to two people. Specific volume details are usually available in the product specifications.
Can I put wet clothes in the basket?
It is not recommended to store wet clothes directly in the basket, as this can lead to mildew on the lining and potentially damage the rattan over time. Ensure laundry is dry or semi-dry before storage.
What is the weight of the basket?
The basket is made from lightweight rattan, making it easy to move. Exact weight information can be found in the product's detailed specifications.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears unstable
Ensure the basket is placed on a level surface. Check that the rattan is not warped; if it is, allow it to acclimate to room temperature and humidity.
Mildew or odor from the lining
Remove the cotton lining immediately and wash it thoroughly. Air out the rattan basket completely in a dry, well-ventilated area before reinserting the clean, dry lining.
Rattan finish looks dull
Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For a slight sheen, a very small amount of natural oil (like mineral oil) can be applied sparingly with a cloth, then buffed off. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This laundry basket requires no assembly. It arrives ready to use. Simply remove any packaging and place it in your desired location.
Compatibility:
The basket is designed for standard household laundry. It is compatible with most bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room environments. Avoid placing it in excessively damp areas like steamy shower stalls, as prolonged exposure to high humidity could affect the natural rattan.
Care:
- Rattan Basket: Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. For deeper cleaning, a gentle soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and allowing to air dry completely. Direct sunlight or excessive heat should be avoided to prevent fading or cracking.
- Cotton Lining: The white cotton lining can be removed and machine washed according to its care label (typically a gentle cycle with mild detergent). Ensure the lining is completely dry before placing it back into the basket.
