How to Remove Mold From Wicker

Wicker furniture is made from slender branches or twigs, often willow or cane. The material is commonly used to make patio furniture. When left outdoors in high humidity, wicker can develop mold and mildew. Remove the growth from wicker furniture using a bleach solution.

Cotton swab
Clean cloth
Clean towel

  Fill a bucket with warm water and add 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap and 1 cup of bleach.

  Take the bucket and the wicker furniture outside to a sunny spot. It is best to clean the furniture on a warm, windy day. The heat and air circulation will help the wicker dry once you have finished cleaning it.
