Ok, so I highly recommend cleaning your Vintage Wicker Picnic Baskets if they have been used out in the yard before this. Simply soak them in a sink of warm water with a little bleach. You can scrub them down with a scrub brush and then rinse off.
Line the Vintage Wicker Picnic Baskets up on your shelving in your home office or even along the back of your desk. You can place pens, paper clips, notepads, and almost anything on them.
