    I've been storing my veg in a wicker-type basket - but obviously didn't do a proper clean out of it last wekk - when I emptied it today there were some manky carrots which have leaked yukky juice everywhere.

    Some of it's gone through the basket so I want to make sure it's all clean so it doesn't smell. Do any of you lovely people have any ideas on the best way to clean it?:confused:

    If you can get some hessian sacks make a good liner if you're storing veg in them which can then be washed if any spills.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Stardrops, a little bleach and a scrubbing brush???????????????? Scrub inside and outside the basket then put it out in the sun to dry.........in future put a cloth lining in that you can wash.
