How do you clean a wicker laundry basket please?

[Snowstorm]

Just noticed that mine's smelling a bit ... old socks and general laundry smells and it's not nice but am not sure how to go about cleaning it? Any top tips please? TIA.

Wipe all over with a damp cloth, spray with Febrese and leave it sitting outside for a bit

About once a year I take mine in the garden, douse with fairy liquid and rinse with hose. It then dries for a day or two sitting on some newspaper.

I have a material liner for my wicker basket which I throw in the washing machine regularly.
Same as Cerisier I also hose the actual basket once a year (the only good day of the summer is best) and leave outside to dry.

You're supposed to clean them?

Of course you should clean them if they don't have a liner. We have three baskets and two have liners. The one without has dirty underwear and all sorts in so does need a spruce up regularly. I should probably do it more often really.

Thanks for getting back to me - it was such a dull question that I didn't think anyone would! I think I binned the liner XX years ago but it's only just started smelling as though it needed a clean this week ... not sure why ... I seem to do so much laundry that nothing really gets a chance to fester.

In any case, I've read about cleaning it with bicarb of soda but have no idea how you'd do that without getting a kind of paste stuck to it! Febrese is okay on wicker then?
