If you need to perk up an old straw bag, dust it well then spray it thoroughly with hair spray. Make sure to be outside or in a well ventilated room before you spray on the hair spray. You’ll love the spiffy fresh shine. Try this technique on straw hats as well.
Many thanks to Joan and Lydia Wiken from Bottom Line’s Household Magic for this excellent little tip.
