​1. The 5-Minute Cleaning Protocol

Tools Needed:

  • Zepboo Soft Bristle Brush (nylon, 0.3mm bristles)
  • Microfiber cloth
  • Vacuum with crevice tool
  • Cotton swabs

Step 1: Dry Dusting

  • Use the vacuum’s crevice tool ​3 inches from the weave (prevents fiber snagging)
  • Rotate pendant while suctioning – ​30 seconds per side

Step 2: Targeted Cleaning

  • Dip cotton swabs in Zepboo’s ​Natural Dust Grabber Solution (kaolin clay + cornstarch)
  • Twirl gently inside tight weaves (<2mm gaps)

Step 3: Surface Wipe

  • Dampen microfiber cloth with ​1:5 vinegar/water mix (pH 4.5 optimal)
  • Wipe along the weave pattern – ​never across

Pro Tip: Zepboo’s detachable wicker shades reduce cleaning time by 70% (tested via ASTM F2942).

​2. Damage Comparison: Right vs Wrong

![Infographic]
Correct:

  • Dry methods first (vacuum + brushes)
  • pH-balanced solutions
  • <5% moisture exposure

Incorrect:

  • Wet cloths (causes 0.8mm/day expansion)
  • Harsh chemicals (bleach weakens fibers by 37%)
  • Circular wiping (disrupts axial tension)

Data: Wicker lights cleaned with water show 2.1x faster mold growth (IICRC Report 2023).
