I have been using a wicker basket to hold DS bath toys (not very clever of me i know) and surprise surprise it has gone mouldy. Any ideas how i can get this off or do i have to throw it away? 
had a brief look through mega index and couldnt see anything, maybe noone else is as stupid as me:o

I'd try a weak solution of water and bleach, as the bleach should kill off the mould and stop it being too smelly! ( not too much, as you don't want to soak the wicker..try to dry off right away).0

Just noticed mine tonight and it is the same, so you are not alone.
Will try the bleach solution tomorrowIt's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission0 -
I`d be carefulwith the bleach as it will spoil the wicker. How about putting it in the airing cupboard to dry out and/ordrying it with a hairdryer.. I would try some diluted vinegar on the mouldand maybe use cottonbuds so as not to over wet it.HTH.0
