Use laundry bleach to remove musty smell from wicker furniture

Chlorine laundry bleach

Use 1/4 cup of chlorine laundry bleach in two gallons of warm water and use a medium bristle brush, like a vegetable brush.

Dip the brush and gently scrub the wicker furniture completely, even underneath, then rinse the same way with clean warm water.

The sun will help remove odor.

It'll help if you can put the wicker furniture in the sun to dry. The sun works wonders with eliminating odor.

Let the wicker furniture dry

Let the wicker furniture dry completely before you use it, because if you sit on it while it's damp it will move the strands of reed slightly and when it dries the strands will stay in the new position and could put stress on the joints.

You may have to repeat the treatment two or three times to get rid of the smell completely, then it would be a good idea to give your wicker furniture an annual treatment just to be sure to keep from having the musty odor problem again.
