-
Hold the handle and push out the basket from the bottom centre with your other hand.
-
Wet the entire basket with cool water. This can be done easily by running under a tap or filling a bathtub or deep sink.
-
Immerse the basket in the water, up to just above the coil (rim).
-
Shake off the excess water.
-
Let the basket sit for a couple of minutes to allow water to penetrate the straw.
-
Push the basket back into shape. To get a flat bottom, finish the shaping process by pushing the base against the floor while holding onto the coil.
-
Allow to dry outside in the sun or under a fan undisturbed.
