What Is a Water Hyacinth Basket?
A hyacinth basket is made from the natural aquatic plant- water hyacinth. Water hyacinth was considered a nuisance to waterways so it is now harvested, dried out as a sustainable material to create beautiful woven homeware such as the hyacinth baskets we offer.
Can You Paint Water Hyacinth Baskets?
Hyacinth baskets can be painted if you are wishing to adapt the basket to fit in with a specific colour scheme, but they must be prepared properly so the colour lasts. Wanting a more colourful basket? At Northern Willow, we offer colourful basket ware to suit your colour scheme such as our red paper rope tray.
How Do You Clean Water Hyacinth Baskets?
We recommend regularly cleaning your water hyacinth baskets using either a dry cloth to dust, or for more accurate cleaning use a hoover to get into those hard-to-reach woven areas. Every so often you can use a damp cloth with simple water and natural soap to give it a freshen-up, however, make sure to thoroughly dry out your basket to prevent mould from developing.
Can a Water Hyacinth Basket Get Wet?
Despite being made from a natural aquatic plant, water hyacinth baskets are not waterproof so we recommended them for indoor use only, to prevent them from getting wet. If left wet or damp the baskets can grow mildew or mould.
Are Water Hyacinth Baskets Toxic?
In short, no water hyacinth baskets are made from non-toxic material and are biodegradable so they are not only safe, but the perfect stylish addition to your household.
Is Water Hyacinth Eco-Friendly?
Water hyacinth is a very sustainable material to use. Water hyacinth is a natural fast-growing aquatic plant and because of its quick regeneration properties, it is a nuisance to waterways. Through repurposing water hyacinths to create sophisticated basket ware, we are helping to create clearer waterways and reduce waste.
