FAQs
How do I collapse the laundry basket?

Troubleshooting
Basket does not stand upright
Ensure the basket is fully expanded. Check that the fabric liner is correctly positioned and not obstructing the frame.
Bamboo frame feels rough or splintered
Gently sand the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe clean and apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil if desired to smooth and protect.
Lid does not fit securely
Ensure the basket is fully expanded and the lid is placed evenly on top. If the basket's shape has slightly shifted, try to reshape it before placing the lid.
